The New England Patriots hosted the Indianapolis Colts in Frankfurt, Germany on Sunday morning. This was the final game of the 2023 NFL International Series.
New England scored a field goal on their first possession, but the Colts were able to get into the end zone on their first possession as Jonathan Taylor scored from one yard out. The Colts had a chance to extend their lead at the end of the half, but kicker Matt Gay missed the field goal, and the half ended at 7-3.
The third quarter would go scoreless as did the second, but in the fourth, both kickers successfully made field goals. New England eventually benched quarterback Mac Jones for Bailee Zappe, hoping he would complete a comeback.
As it was last week in their loss to the Commanders, however, a late interception handed the Patriots another loss as they fell to the Colts, 10-6. New England will head on their bye week at 2-8 before taking on the New York Giants the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
