Patriots Lead Colts at Halftime
INDIANAPOLIS—At the time of this writing the New England Patriots, playing on the road against an undefeated Indianapolis team, are headed into halftime with an all-but-insurmountable 24-14 lead.
Barring an almost inconceivable and utterly out-of-character mistake by head coach Bill Belichick, the Patriots have virtually secured a week 10 win against their closest rivals for AFC dominance.
No Belichick-coached Patriots team has ever led by this much at halftime and gone on to lose the game.
“If we just keep playing smart Patriots football, I don’t see any reason why we won’t come out on top,” Belichick told reporters, jogging to the locker room with his team as the second-quarter clock expired. “The only time they’ve been able to stop us is on on short-yardage passing plays, so if we’re careful to execute and avoid any situation where we give Peyton Manning excellent field position, I’m extremely confident we’ll leave here with a ‘W.'”
