First quarter

The Colts won the coin toss and retired, leaving Drake Maye and the Patriots’ offense in first place in a frigid Foxboro. After a short pass to Kendrick Bourne to start, New England quickly got moving as Rhamondre Stevenson completed his first carry 32 yards up the middle. Facing a 3rd-and-goal after a completion to Hunter Henry on 3rd-and-7 and a shovel pass to the tight end after a fake to Marcus Jones inside the 10, Maye was sacked for a field To force goal. Joey Slye was good from 35 yards. (Patriots 3-0 Colts)

The Colts’ offense marched methodically down the field on their first drive of the game, needing just five plays – highlighted by a 23-yard completion to Drew Ogletree – to get into the red zone. After three consecutive runs to get within the 10, a coverage breakdown led to Jonathan Taylor opening a seven-yard touchdown. (Patriots 3: 7 Colts)

Drake Maye got New England’s second drive started when he used his legs to break man coverage in a 41-yard scramble. Two consecutive 11-yard completions to his tight ends gave New England the lead, where Stevenson took a direct snap for the score – which was called back due to a holding flag by Mike Onwenu. Another holding call – this one against Layden Robinson – put them further behind and forced another field goal attempt. (Patriots 6:7 Colts)

Back on the field, New England’s defense left its mark. After a Jabrill Peppers run, Jahlani Tavai deflected Anthony Richardson’s pass, which Christian Elliss caught for an interception.

Second quarter

Taking over at the Colts’ 42-yard line after the turnover, a run to Stevenson on 3rd-and-1 turned into a loss. Joey Slye’s 54-yard field goal attempt was good. (Patriots 9:7 Colts)

Facing an immediate 3rd-and-2, Richardson showed off his running prowess by gaining 13 yards and narrowly missing midfield. A defensive pass interference penalty on Tavai gave the Colts 29 yards to move into the red zone, where Richardson had a three-yard score of his own shortly after. (Patriots 9:14 Colts)

Two consecutive first downs through the air led to New England’s next possession before Antonio Gibson scored two more first downs on two straight runs. Two plays later, Maye found Austin Hooper in front of the goal line for a 16-yard touchdown. (Patriots 16: 14 Colts)
