Sunday night, the New England Patriots will take the field at the Lucas Oil Stadium to face the Indianapolis Colts.
The New England Patriots had last week off thanks to the bye and that will allow them to come into Sunday night's game well rested and ready to seek their 6th straight win. New England's last victory was a 43 -21 statement win over the Denver Broncos. Tom Brady out-dueled his frequent foe Peyton Manning in that one and it showed everyone that the Patriots should still be considered one of the NFL's contenders. Tom Brady threw for 333 yards and 4 touchdowns in that game and will look to put the ball in the endzone a few more times against the Colts. Brady has been very successful in recent meetings against the Colts but Indianapolis will try their best to finally slow him down.
The Indianapolis Colts are also coming off the bye week and they probably needed the extra time to come up with a way to get past the Patriots. Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has played well this season but his success (or failure0 will always be measured by how he handles games like this one. This is not like their last game when they lit up the New York Giants 40 - 24. The Giants are barely making it through games while the Patriots own the best record in the AFC. The Colts will have a slight advantage because they have been better at home this season than the Patriots have been on the road. But, in the end, it will come down to who has the better game - Brady or Luck?
