Recap: For the Patriots, Tom Brady went 34/44 for 341 yards with 3 TD and 2 INT. Both of the interceptions weren't his fault as both of the passes tipped off his recievers fingers and into the hands of an Indianapolis defender. Tom Brady tossed a touchdown to James White, Josh Gordon and Cordarrelle Patterson. With those 3 TD passes, Tom Brady has eclipsed the 500 mark for his career. He even got a rushing TD on the game! Also, Sony Michel picked up the fifth TD for the Patriots on the ground. The ground game had less than 100 yards combined, with Sony Michel providing all of the yards. This is definately an area of improvement in the forseeable future. But, 8 different players caught passes for the Patriots, spreading the wealth nicely. The defense was average and let up 24 points with one sack. For the Colts, Andrew Luck went 38/59 for 365 yards with also 3 TD and 2 INT. Andrew Luck only completed about 60% of his passes which prevented the Colts from finishing some drives. Andrew Luck tossed 2 touchdowns to his favorite TE, Eric Ebron and one touchdown to Erik Swoope. No TDs were scored on the ground. 8 different players also caught passes for the Colts, again spreading the wealth nicely. With a more pass-happy NFL, recievers are becoming more and more important in order to succeed in the NFL. They punted 3 times in the game. Also, Adam Vinateri missed a field goal which might've made the game a little more favorable for the Colts. The defense definately has had some better night as they let up 38 points and got no sacks. A former Ohio State safety, Malik Hooker; in his second yera in the NFL, racked up a defense-leading 12 total tackles on the game.
Final Score: Patriots 38, Indianapolis 24
