For the Patriots, Drake Maye put up solid numbers with 244 passing yards, but ultimately fell short in the scoring department. A.J. Brown was a standout in the receiving corps for New England, racking up 114 yards, yet his efforts were not enough to change the tide.

The turning point came in the second quarter when Indianapolis scored back-to-back touchdowns, creating a gap that the Patriots couldn't overcome. While Robert Spillane led New England with 11 total tackles, his efforts were not enough to stem the Colts' offensive flow, sealing the game for Indianapolis.
