"Patriots' Disappointing Loss to Colts in Germany: Key Takeaways and QB Benching"

The New England Patriots suffered a 10-6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Germany, dropping their record to 2-8. The game raised questions about the future of head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Mac Jones, with Jones being benched in the fourth quarter following an interception. The Patriots' rushing attack had a season-high 167 yards, but their offensive line struggled, allowing five sacks in the first half. The defense held the Colts to ten points but couldn't make enough plays to secure a win. The Patriots' special teams continued to falter, and rookie wide receiver Kayshon Boutte made his first NFL catch. Defensive tackle Christian Barmore stood out with another strong performance.
