Coming out of their bye week with four games left in the regular season, the New England Patriots will try to keep their spot as the top-ranked team in both their division and their conference. The first of those contests will see the Patriots travel to Indianapolis to take on the 7-6 Colts — a team that is itself very much involved in the AFC playoff race.
The Patriots, who have won seven straight and are the owners of a 9-4 record, will have their hands full in Week 15. The Colts, after all, are a well-rounded team that has played some productive football following a 1-4 start: the run offense has come to life and is now the most productive in the NFL, while the defense is tops in the league in takeaways.
