The Indianapolis Colts (8-6) gave the home crowd a scare late but managed to fend off the fourth-quarter comeback of the New England Patriots (9-5). With the final score of 27-17, this is the first Colts victory over the Evil Empire since 2009, and the biggest win of this 2021 season.
The Colts dominated in all three phases for the first two and a half quarters, pitching a shutout, 20-0, before a late surge had every fan on the edge of a seat with flashbacks of prior blown leads. However, with one huge run, bursting through the Patriots defense, Jonathan Taylor called ballgame with a 67-yard rushing touchdown.
Taylor is, as always, our player of the season after coming up huge when this team needed him most of all.
