The Indianapolis Colts come off their bye week by hosting the New England Patriots in NFL Week 15 action.
The Colts (7-6) moved into AFC playoff position without lifting a finger. As Buffalo and Cincinnati suffered Week 14 losses, Indianapolis assumed the No. 6 spot. It is precarious, with the Bills, Bengals, Denver and Cleveland also sporting 7-6 records, and Pittsburgh is 6-6-1.
The Patriots (9-4) are also coming off a bye. New England has won 7 games in a row and stands atop the AFC standings. Mac Jones has been the best among the NFL's rookie quarterbacks, whether he's passing 30+ times in a game or just 3.
