Patriots
The Patriots are hoping to get a win before their bye week.
The Patriots’ bye week is near, but they have one more game ahead of their week off.
New England hosts the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at 1 p.m. Sunday’s matchup with the Colts might be the 3-9 Patriots’ best chance to get another win before the season is over. The Colts are 5-7 and after Sunday’s game, the Patriots’ next four opponents are teams who have a winning record entering Week 13.
The Patriots could certainly use a win, too. They’ve lost their last two games, including a 34-15 blowout at the Dolphins last week. That loss, along with the loss to the Rams the week prior, has seemingly caused more pessimism surrounding the state of the team despite Drake Maye’s encouraging play.
Will the Patriots get off the schneid or will they reach 10 losses on the season on Sunday? Stick around for live updates from Sunday’s game against the Colts.

11:30 a.m.: Jabrill Peppers active for Patriots
Peppers seems likely to play in Sunday’s game after being removed from the commissioner’s exempt list earlier in the week. The veteran safety wasn’t listed among the Patriots’ inactive ahead of Sunday’s game. Peppers has missed the Patriots’ last eight games following his arrest for assault allegations in October.
The Patriots’ inactive for Sunday’s game are wide receiver K.J. Osborn, safety Marte Mapu, quarterback Joe Milton III, guard Lester Cotton, guard Tyrese Robinson, defensive tackle Jaquelin Roy, and defensive end Titus Leo.
For the Colts, they’ll be without standout receiver Josh Downs. Quarterback Sam Ehlinger, wide receiver Ashton Dulin, safety Darren Hall, defensive end Isaiah Land, guard Tanor Bortolini, and offensive tackle Braden Smith will also be inactive.
