FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — After an up-and-down start to 2024, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson still has a chance to lead his team somewhere it hasn't been been since 2020: the playoffs. Beginning with a trip north to face the 3-9 New England Patriots, Indianapolis' remaining opponents have a combined 17-41 record. The only remaining opponent currently above .500 is Denver at 7-5. Win out and Indy will be at 10 wins with a puncher's chance at the postseason. With the playoffs not on the horizon, improvement is the Patriots' focus. That begins with limiting turnovers. New England has eight over the last four games.
