On December 19, Beijing time, the NFL's 15th regular season game was played first on Sunday morning, with the Indianapolis Colts sitting at home to meet the New England Patriots. The Patriots were kept clean sheets by the Ponies in the first three quarters, and it wasn't until the fourth quarter that they rose to the chase. Just as the Patriots were preparing to defend the ponies and prepare to give a go, Pony running back Jonathan Taylor rushed out of the 67-yard touchdown to make the game come to an end. The score was fixed at 27-17, and the Colts ended the Patriots' seven-game winning streak.
Wonderful review
The Ponies carried the running ball to the end in the first wave of attack. Austin Dylan rushed out a 37-yard oversized run before Jonahan Taylor repeatedly helped the Ponies get the first attack. They ended up using the Wildcats, where Taylor received the ball and handed it to Nassim Higgins, who went around the right to complete the touchdown to make it 7-0.
Then the Patriots made a big mistake, they were directly saved by the Colts when they abandoned the kick, the ball rolled directly into the end zone, the Ponies grabbed the ball and directly converted it into a touchdown, and the score came to 14-0.
In the second quarter, the Ponies attacked through the road again, spending a lot of time to complete the score. Quarterback Carson Wentz scored the first attack in four gears with a one-yard arch, and then Taylor rushed the ball to continue to slash and eat away at the Patriots defense, kicker Michael Bergley came on and hit a 25-yard free-kick to give the Colts a 17-0 lead.
Before the end of the first half, the Patriots looked like they were about to win, but the "full class" Jones's pass was intercepted by Colts star linebacker Darius Leonard. As a result, the Patriots' record of 99 consecutive games to score came to an abrupt end, and the first half was fixed at 17-0, and the Ponies kept a clean sheet for the Patriots.
The Patriots' nightmare wasn't over yet, and at the start of the second half, Jones' pass was intercepted again. The Ponies took advantage of the ball, and the free-kick that had been deflected was blown off by the Patriots foul, and the score came to 20-0 after the kick was hit again.
The patriots did not get a point in the first three quarters, and finally won in the fourth quarter. In this wave of offense, the Patriots also had a twist and turn, overcoming the loss of yards caused by the fouls of their teammates. In the end, Jones made a reverse pass and connected the near-end forward Hunter Henry to complete the touchdown, the score was 20-7.
In the middle of the fourth quarter, Winds' pass was intercepted by the Patriots, and suspense arose. However, although the Patriots' subsequent attacks were brilliantly advanced to the end zone, they were never able to achieve touchdowns. Facing fourth gear, the Patriots sent Nick Falk to hit a 25-yard free-kick to make it 20-10.
Two minutes into the fourth quarter, the Patriots played a crucial three-stop long-code conversion before Jones connected Miles to complete the large-size advance to the end zone. Jones connected Henry to complete a wonderful touchdown, and the score came to 20-17.
Still before the two-minute official timeout, Pony running back Taylor rushed straight out of the 67-yard touchdown, and for 11 consecutive weeks, the Ponies led the Patriots 27-17 and lost suspense in the game.
