The Indianapolis Colts Week 13 matchup against the New England Patriots may not have the same emotion of the Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady bouts of years past. 

But to keep their playoff chances alive, this game is a must win for the Colts. And to do it, Anthony Richardson will have to do something no Colts QB has done since Peyton Manning. 


Theres no love lost between the Colts and Patriots franchises or their fans. While both teams look very different from the days of epic battles between Manning and Brady with Hall of Fame coaches in Tony Dungy and Bill Belichick on the sideline. But this game still means more to so many fans on both sides. 

In Week 13, the Colts are hitting the road to take on the Patriots in Foxbourgh at the prestigious Gillette Stadium. A place the Cotls have struggled to win, with their last win coming in 2006. Including the playoffs the Colts have lost seven straight matchups at Gillette Stadium. The last starting QB to win in Gillette was none other than Peyton Manning. Not even Andrew Luck could accomplish this with him going 0-4 in road games against the Patriots, and in fact he never beat the team with him losing all six of his matchups against the team. 

It may not be the Super Bowl contender Patriots from the past, but it always feels good to get a losing streak off your back. The Colts already fumbled two oppurtunies to end their Week 1 and Jacksonville losing streaks this season. So lets hope the third times the charm, and Ricahardson is able to lead the team to a much needed win against a young rebuilding Patriots team.
