Let’s take a look back at the recent matchup history between the Indianapolis Colts and the Patriots before their Week 13 game.

Coming off a loss to the Detroit Lions, the Indianapolis Colts are clinging to their playoff hopes at 5-7 on the season and find themselves in what is essentially a must-win game against the New England Patriots.

The Jets will be without LT Tyron Smith and could be without RB Breece Hall as well against the Seahawks, and Chris Simms and Mike Florio believe a motivated Geno Smith will be more than enough for Seattle vs.

The Detroit Lions are fresh off their 9th straight and 10th win of the season! On Sunday, they beat the Indianapolis Colts by a score of 24 - 6 but it sure felt like that the Lions could have won by more.

The Detroit Lions are the best team in the NFL right now. Detroit’s high-powered offense continues to smash NFL records, while the defense defies expectations by thwarting the league’s toughest opponents.
