How the Patriots plan to fight jet lag before taking on the Colts in Germany

The New England Patriots arrived early at Gillette Stadium on Thursday, and for good reason: they want to get as much work done as possible before boarding a plane and heading across the Atlantic for their Week 10 game against the Indianapolis Colts.

That trip will start after Thursday’s practice, with the plane set to depart from Providence’s T.F. Green Airport by 6 p.m. ET. A few hours later, on Friday local time, the Patriots will touch down in Frankfurt, Germany.

Just two days later, at 9:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, they will take on the Colts.
