It’s a tough job for Mac Jones and Co heading into Week 9 of the 2022 season. With four wins and four losses, the team is placed last in the division, and to keep their playoff aspirations alive, wins are essential.
This week, Colts would be there on the other side; the same team that defeated the Patriots 27-17 last December. Their special teams played a pivotal role in the victory, helping an early 14-point lead in the first quarter for the squad.
With that momentum, they were able to carry forward the game and eventually a great win by the end of the final whistle. Even this time, the scenario isn’t much different. With minor changes in the defensive line, the Colts will enter the field with almost the same squad.
“I think for us, kind of start with last year, that was obviously a good football team. A lot of those parts are still in place, a lot of the players.” Belichick said in the press conference. “Changed the defense a little bit, but still the defense is pretty good, and they’ve added some key players like [Yannick] Ngakoue and [Stephon] Gilmore, guys like that,” he added.

However, some of the fans claimed that he was not taking the game seriously.
Looks like he's not taking the Colts seriously, probably says Ben Volin.
