The New England Patriots faced a tough loss against the Indianapolis Colts, falling 25-24 despite multiple opportunities to secure a win. Rookie quarterback Drake Maye expressed frustration over missed plays, completing 24 of 30 passes for a touchdown and an interception.
Despite scoring on their first four possessions, the Patriots struggled in the red zone, settling for field goals and having touchdowns negated by penalties. The Colts capitalized on a late drive, scoring a touchdown and converting a 2-point attempt to clinch the victory.
Coach Jerod Mayo's decision to attempt a 68-yard field goal instead of a Hail Mary in the final seconds fell short, marking New England's fifth one-score loss this season.
