2005 Indianapolis Colts Football Schedule: Rematch With The Champs

On November 7, the 2005 Indianapolis Colts football schedule has the team traveling to New England for a Monday night showdown with the defending Super Bowl Champion Patriots. For years, the Colts have been considered among the NFL's elite teams, but there has always been a caveat because Peyton Manning and crew can't seem to overcome Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the dynasty from the Boston area. The Patriots lead the all-time series, 24-41, and have dominated in recent years. In 2003, the Colts lost a regular season battle with New England and fell again to the Patriots in the AFC Championship. Again last year, the Patriots beat Indianapolis, 27-24, to begin the season and then ended it by handing the Colts a 20-3 loss in the AFC Divisional Playoffs. Could this be the year that Indianapolis is finally able to overcome their nemesis from New England? Only time will tell.
