With their team out to a four-point halftime lead on the road against a tough conference opponent, one would expect Patriots fans to be pleased. Instead, the mood on Twitter and various message boards was sour. Especially after quarterback Tom Brady threw two interceptions in the first half, the second coming on a horrible decision on 3rd and 1 that led to a Colts touchdown with under a minute left in the half. Bill Belichick instructed his offense to kneel on the football with 55 seconds remaining and a full complement of time-outs, sending a clear message: We need better.
Whatever was said at halftime worked. Brady and his teammates ripped off an 8-play, 80-yard drive, capped by a 2-yard touchdown reception from Tim Wright. The short scoring play combined design and execution for a tremendous result for New England.
Yo.
