Momentum was not on the New England Patriots’ side in the embarrassing 27-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15.
Jonathan Taylor and the Colts controlled the clock and dominated in every facet of the game from the beginning. Taylor and Nyheim Hines manufactured an eight-play, 78-yard drive in the second drive of the night that showed a glimpse of what was to come.
On the Patriots’ ensuing drive, the Colts blocked a punt for a touchdown and that was the moment the game ended. Taylor eventually ended the game as he gashed the Patriots in the final two minutes with a 67-yard score.
The Patriots, now 9-5, will likely use this game to feed the underdog mentality they’ve carried throughout the season. There wasn’t many positive takeaways from the game, but here’s the winners and losers from New England.
