New England Patriots vs. Indianapolis Colts injury report and starting lineup - NFL Week 15
The New England Patriots will head to Lucas Oil Stadium to take on the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday night.
The Patriots will be looking to make it eight wins in a row, reclaim the top spot in the AFC standings, and join the Chiefs as the only other AFC team with ten wins.
The Colts' recent surge in form has seen them climb into the playoff spots and they now sit a couple of wins behind the Tennessee Titans in the race for the division title. While an AFC South title might be a hill too steep to climb, they can still solidify their playoff future with a win on Saturday night.
Here's the injury report and starting lineup for the Patriots and Colts ahead of this key matchup:
