Every so often the Patriots will play a team that needs to leave with a victory. It will be a team that New England has a long history against. It will be a team in the dumps that has nothing else to lose on the season. It will be a team that dedicates months of preparation that will feature some great wrinkles into their game plan that would make Kevin Kelly blush.
Usually Rex Ryan is on the other sideline, but the game against the Colts yielded the same result: a Patriots victory in crushing fashion.
