Bye Week Signaled Return of Mistake-Prone Play
Apologies for the late submission for the weekly report card, there were factors beyond my control…but better late than never.
The Patriots came into the game on a seven-game winning streak but they left all that intensity, physicality, and smart play back home. Indy was also coming off a bye and looked like all of those things and then some. Turnovers, sloppy play, missed opportunities, bad penalties, and awful special teams’ play spelled doom for the team as they fell behind 20-0.
The Colts showed that they like to play bully ball too and had a 78-yard drive where they pounded the ball down the Patriots’ throats without throwing a pass.
