The Indianapolis Colts (3-4-1) head to Gillette Stadium to take on the New England Patriots (4-4). New England faces a much-needed win as the AFC East is getting tighter as the weeks roll on, and the Colts are now without veteran quarterback Matt Ryan, who has been benched for Sam Ehlinger.
The team also fired their offensive coordinator on Tuesday.
New England is hoping to get health back on their side and beat up on an injury-riddled Colts team searching for a glimmer of hope after a lackluster first half of the season. There was no quick fix after acquiring Ryan from the Atlanta Falcons in the offseason, and the team is now looking for other ways to turn it around.
Let’s take a look at three keys to victory for the New England Patriots as they attempt to get above .500 win percentage for the first time this season.
