2013 Week 6 - 4-1 Colts Crush 5-0 Patriots, Eliminate Unbeaten Streak; Pats fall to 5-1

In this Week 6 match-up, the run of deja vu continues for New England. After beating the team they faced in the AFC Divisional Playoffs last year (Cincinnati), the 86 OVR Patriots hosted the also 86 OVR, 4-1 Colts. But unlike the AFC Championship game last year, when Indy was simply manhandled by New England, this time they turned the tables and held a dominating and seemingly insurmountable lead throughout the game, and rise to 5 and 1 while the Patriots fall to the same record. Indy wins 54 to 35. In the classic battle of the HOF QBs, Peyton Manning was in vintage form, much better than when he struggled mightily in the AFC Championship game last year, this time with a 120.4 QB rating, 499 yards passing, 5 TDs, and 0 INTs. Brady finishes the game with a 101.1 rating, 420 yards passing, 3 TDs, 1 INT. New England's loss here ties them with the 5-1 Colts, Eagles, Bears, and Lions, while the 5-0 San Diego Chargers are now the league's only undefeated team.
