Patriots Lose 25-24 to Colts

The New England Patriots suffered a heartbreaking 25-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, dropping their record to 3-10 this season. Rookie quarterback Drake Maye showcased potential, completing 24 of 30 passes for 238 yards, along with 59 rushing yards, but his late-game interception proved costly. Coach Jerod Mayo's decision to attempt a 68-yard field goal instead of allowing Maye a chance to throw a Hail Mary on the final play has drawn criticism. The game featured a dramatic fourth-quarter touchdown drive by the Colts, which included three crucial fourth-down conversions. Despite the loss, Maye's performance hints at a brighter future amidst the team's struggles. The Patriots will have a bye week to regroup and assess their season as they face ongoing challenges.
