Week 13 of the NFL season has now arrived and the Indianapolis Colts are back on the road to take on the 3-9 New England Patriots.
Staring at a 5-7 record currently, the Colts’ playoff hopes still remain alive, but barely, and this game certainly falls into the “must-win” category.
Awaiting the Colts is a Patriots team that at 3-9, has obviously had their own struggles this season. The bright side, is rookie quarterback Drake Maye has shown quite a bit of promise.
However, the young quarterback often has a lot on his plate, frequently playing from behind, along with there being a shaky offensive line in front of him.
