Red-zone woes, failure to stop Colts on 4th down on final drive doom Patriots to 3rd straight loss
Associated Press— The New England Patriots made six trips inside the Indianapolis 20 and came away with two touchdowns, two field goals, an interception at the goal line and a missed field goal that was shorter than an extra point. “I left some plays out there,” rookie quarterback Drake Maye said after watching Indianapolis drive 80 yards to win 25-24 on Sunday, sending the Patriots to their third straight loss and eliminating them from playoff contention. That’s probably the biggest thing.” The Patriots scored on their first four possessions — and missed a 25-yard field goal on the fifth — and had their only punt of the game with 5:34 left. “Not sure what the numbers are on Hail Marys versus the field goal there, but that’s what I felt was right,” Mayo said.
