The Indianapolis Colts flat out outplayed the New England Patriots in Week 15. The Colts stole the Patriots’ recipe for success and Indy won, 27-17.
The Patriots came after the Colts in the fourth quarter. But Indy finished off New England, thanks to running back Jonathan Taylor — and uncharacteristic mistakes from the Patriots.
Quarterback Mac Jones threw his first interception (of two) in the red zone. New England couldn’t do anything to stop Indy’s rushing attack, not even in the fourth quarter when Taylor iced the game with a 67-yard touchdown. The Patriots committed an astoundingly large number of mental mistakes. And the Colts capitalized upon many of them, with takeaways and elite special teams play. The Colts looked like the Patriots did over their seven-game win streak, which is officially over.
It will set up a massive matchup against the Buffalo Bills in Week 16. But for now, let’s dive into the takeaways from this game.
