The New England Patriots played one of their worst games of the season on Saturday night against the Indianapolis Colts and ended up losing 27-17. It was a depressing and ugly from the Patriots, but let’s get into the takeaways anyway.
1. New England sings the bye week blues. The Patriots had two weeks to prepare for the Colts, who have arguably the best running back in football. You would think they would be prepare to be committed to stopping the run, but they were not.
The Colts ran all over them and the Patriots had no answer for it.
