In my Week 9 Preview of the Colts I predicted this game was not going to be pretty and for the most part, it wasn’t.
The final score was not indicative of how hard the Colts’ defense played. The Patriots’ Defense was as dominant as I have ever seen. Yes, they were playing against a rookie quarterback, and Bill Belichick’s record versus rookie QBs was 4-104 against a rookie.
The Colts have some problems on their O-line. The Colts have the most expensive O-line in the league, but they have not been getting the results for what they paid for. The Patriots targeted the RG on many pass-rush packages.
