New England and Indianapolis have faced off 84 times, as they used to be in the same division. The Patriots won 53 of their meetings and are 31-13 as the home team. The two clubs last met last year in Germany with the Colts taking the contest 10-6 in an ugly one for fans to watch.

Christian Barmore looked more comfortable in his second game back with the team. His presence up front helped the defense keep the Dolphins’ rushing attack to 65 yards and 2.7 yards per carry. That’s a huge improvement over what we’ve seen in previous games from the unit.
