Shane Steichen saw his team drive 80 yards in 19 plays to come within a point of the New England Patriots. There were 12 seconds left, the Indianapolis Colts were down by one and their coach had a decision: Play for overtime or go for the win.
He went for the win and Anthony Richardson barged into the end zone to give Indy a 25-24 win on Sunday at Gillette Stadium.
The 19-play drive took 5:22 and concluded with a three-yard pass from Richardson to Alec Pierce.
“It’s heartbreaking.”

Patriots kicker Joey Slye missed from 25 early an 68 — yes, 68 — on the final play of the game.
Going into Sunday, NFL kickers were a perfect 79 of 79 on field goal attempts this season from 25 yards and in.
