NFL: Patriots overcome Colts in ‘Deflategate’ rematch

NULL

The New England Patriots have beaten rivals Indianapolis Colts by 34 points to 27. The game’s key moment came late in the third quarter, when the Colts tried an unconventional play, which the Patriots read and soon turned into a quick touchdown. There was added significance following the Deflategate incident at last season’s AFC Championships game between the teams. The Patriots move to 5 and 0, with the Colts on 3 and 3. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers moved to 6 and 0, after holding off San Diego Chargers. The Chargers were stopped on fourth and goal on the 3-yard line with 15 seconds left, as the Packers won 27-20. Elsewhere, the Carolina Panthers beat the Seattle Seahawks 27-23 thanks to Greg Olsen’s late touchdown, the Pittsburgh Steelers overcame the Arizona Cardinals 25-13, and the Miami Dolphins romped to a 38-10 win over the Tennessee Titans.
