Sunday Night Football: Patriots vs Colts tv channel schedule, start time, scores and results
The New England Patriots face the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night Football, November 16, at the Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, Ind.
With the top seed in the AFC on the line, both teams would be able to display their high-powered offenses through Tom Brady of the Patriots and Andrew Luck of the Colts.
Riding in a five-game winning streak and an overwhelming 43-21 victory over Denver in Week 9, Brady and the Patriots want to keep winning and dominating the rest of the schedule. Brady completed 33 of 55 passes for 333 yards and four touchdowns against one interception. Brady has been playing well since the Patriots lost to Kansas City in Week 5.
Rob Gronkowski had 105 yards and one touchdown in nine receptions while Julian Edelman added 89 yards and one touchdown in nine catches. Brandon LaFell had six receptions for 53 yards against the defense of Denver.
Surely, the Patriots have found how to play together with Brady and his receivers. If the Patriots would capture a win in Indianapolis, then they have a big chance of making in the playoffs with the top seed in the AFC.
