The Indianapolis Colts faced the New England Patriots in a preseason matchup on August 15. The game highlighted several performance issues, particularly in the secondary with CB Edwards being targeted. Although some optimism came from the pass rushers Curry and Gumbs and an improved screen game, quarterback AR struggled with turnovers and limited scoring before halftime. The offensive line showed strength, and overall, the team appeared to maintain health and discipline with only six penalties for 60 yards. No rosters spots were secured, as player evaluations continue into training camp.
