Patriots’ special teams issues rear their ugly head again: ‘You give up plays like that it’s going to be hard to win’

The New England Patriots came out flat against the Indianapolis Colts and found themselves in a 20-0 hole before a late, but ultimately unsuccessful rally in the fourth quarter.

For the third time this year, the Patriots surrendered a blocked punt. To make matters worse, the Colts were able to recover the loose football in the end zone for six points and a 14-0 lead.
