Patriots pride themselves on playing sound situational football. They didn’t against the Colts.

The New England Patriots’ late rally brought them within three points late in the fourth quarter against the Indianapolis Colts. With only 2:21 left in the game after a Mac Jones touchdown pass to Hunter Henry, however, they needed to execute to perfection in order to give themselves another shot at winning the game.

The Patriots obviously did not, with Colts running back Jonathan Taylor scoring a 67-yard touchdown run to ice the game a short time later. While that play was a bad one, it is not the only example of New England’s struggles on Saturday night.
