The reason the Colts have had recent success against the Patriots is because their D shows up in the 4th quarter while the Pats D seems to turtle with blown coverage and untimely penalties. It's amazing how the Colts defense looks like a JV team for three quarters and then they are able to buckle down for key defensive plays to win the game. Once the 4th quarter comes along, the Colts pass rushers make plays and their DB’s are in tight coverage (no matter if they are rookies). The Pats pass rush is invisible and their DB’s are either 5 yards off the receiver or committing a penalty. During the Superbowl years, I had supreme confidence in the Pats D, now I cringe when the opponent has the ball on the final drive. I do not care about the 4th down call, the outcome of the game never should have come to that…we need a closer damnit!!!
