To put it as nicely as possible, the 2023 NFL season hasn't been kind to the New England Patriots.
Another way to put it is that Bill Belichick's bunch has played atrocious football and has the Pats on track for their worst campaign since the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach came to Foxborough at the turn of the century.
At 2-7, the Patriots have the worst record in the AFC and are 0-5 in non-AFC East games, making them the only team in the NFL without a win outside their division.
Their latest loss was a 20-17 defeat at the Washington Commanders, a game they had a chance to win in the fourth quarter before a Mac Jones interception with 30 seconds remaining sealed their fate.
New England will look to bounce back in Week 10 against the Indianapolis Colts. Remember when this was the best rivalry in the league?
While the stakes are nowhere near as high as they were during the Tom Brady and Peyton Manning days, this particular Patriots-Colts matchup is still seen as somewhat special as the NFL is holding a game in Germany for the second straight week.
Though most fans in Frankfurt were likely much more excited about last week's high-profile matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins, perhaps New England and Indianapolis can give them some excitement as well.
As the Patriots cross the Atlantic coming off a loss, the Colts enter Week 10 coming off a 27-13 win over the Carolina Panthers, a victory that snapped a three-game losing streak.
So, exactly where and when can you catch this Patriots-Colts contest?
