The Pats are 2-7 heading into Week 10 for what used to be a marquis matchup in the NFL. Patriots vs. Colts. Hard to believe but the last time this rivalry really meant something was in 2010, when Tom Brady and Peyton Manning ruled the league. These matchups were scheduled during network ratings sweeps week in prime time, as the must-see game of the season.
Sunday’s matchup will be nothing like that. Currently, both teams are shells of their former selves. This will be the second of the league’s two international games played in Frankfurt Stadium in Germany.
