That was a risky decision as it would then require New England needing two more possessions to either tie the game or take the lead. Had Belichick elected to go for it and the Patriots found the end zone on that fourth-down try, they would have only needed one possession to get a touchdown and take the lead.
Taylor's yard run will likely place him deeper into MVP conversations as that run was exactly the type of dagger that the Colts needed to pull away with this win.
At the time, Indy was clinging to a three-point lead and was trying to keep the drive alive to kill clock. Instead of simply moving the chains, Taylor extended the Colts' lead, which effectively eliminated any comeback chances for the Patriots. This was Taylor's 11th straight game with a touchdown, which is the longest-active streak in the NFL since LaDainian Tomlinson's game streak in That was also Taylor's 31st touchdown of his career.
From here, the Patriots will head back to Foxborough and await a pivotal matchup with the Buffalo Bills at Gillette Stadium.

By Tyler Sullivan. Dec 19, at am ET 1 min read. SAT P. IND -1, o Running back Duke Johnson picked up four yards before Tagovailoa went back to Waddle for a five-yard gain. Tagovailoa picked up two yards on a quarterback sneak to convert on 3rd-and-1, then he threw to tight end Mike Gesicki for a yard gain. Running back Phillip Lindsay took three straight handoffs, picking up five yards, four yards, and three yards on the carries.
Tagovailoa then threw to running back Myles Gaskin for seven yards, then to wide receiver DeVante Parker for nine yards. After no gain on a Duke Johnson run, Tagovailoa threw to a wide-open Waddle in the back of the endzone, who toe tapped his way to the score. Dolphins Tap those toes, pic. Waddle set the new rookie season record for receptions on the five-yard play on his third catch of the game. Tagovailoa finished the drive 7-for-7 for 54 yards with the score, another opening drive where Miami came out and executed perfectly.
Will they be able to keep it up as the game progresses? After a touchback, New England opened with a run from running back Damien Harris for three yards. Harris picked up another six yards on second down.
On 3rd-and-1, Jones looked to wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, but cornerback Xaven Howard jumped the route and returned it for a yard touchdown. The rest? Starting at their own yard line after another touchback, the Patriots did a little better on their second possession, but not a lot.
After Miami was penalized for 12 men on the field after safety Brandon Jones could not get off the field in time, Mac Jones threw to running back Rhamondre Stevenson for a two-yard gain.
Harris converted for the first down on a seve-yard run, but the drive stalled there, with Jones throwing to Harris for five yards, then Brandon Boldin lost a yard on a run up the middle. Jones tried to throw for the first down on 3rd-and-6, but defensive lineman Emmanuel Ogbah knocked down the pass and forced a punt. The Howard interception was followed by Christian Wilkins wrecking the middle of the line of scrimmage, as well as Ogbah doing what Ogbah does.
Good stand by the defense. Miami began at their own yard line after the punt, with Johnson picking up seven yards on the first down run. Johnson then carried the ball for five yards, then again for two yards. After an incomplete pass on 3rd-and-3, Miami faked the punt, with punter Michael Palardy sliding after only one yard; an unnecessary roughness penalty on Bolden gave Miami a new set of downs. Tagovailoa then threw to Gaskin for four yards, leading to the end of the quarter.
The Dolphins offense is moving the ball effectively, but they got lucky a couple of times. Tagovailoa overthrew Parker on the incomplete pass, with Devin McCourty dropping the gifted interception. Parker was held on the play, but no penalty was called. The unnecessary roughness penalty was a complete miss by the referees, who probably thought Palardy had been hit in the head as he was sliding, but there was barely any contact and what was made looked like it hit Palardy in the shoulder.
Miami continued the drive after the break, with the rain opening up over the stadium. The running game took over as the weather changed, with Johnson running for a yard, then 10 yards, followed by a six- and a five-yard run.
Lindsay took over on the next two plays, adding three yards and a yard. After a New England timeout, Tagovailoa looked to Parker in the endzone but the pass was broken up. Miami settled for the yard field goal. Miami went conservative as the weather changed. They found some success from the running game, but they are going to have to prove Tagovailoa can throw the ball in the rain - something that did not happen well last week. After the kickoff, the Patriots say Jones throw an incomplete pass, but come back with a yard pass to tight end Hunter Henry, who was wide open after a play fake.
Joes then threw to Harris for seven yards before a Kendrick Bourne run for eight yards. Harris ran for four yards on 1st-and from the Miami 24, followed by a Jones pass to Meyers for five yards.
On 3rd-and-1, Bolden cut back on a run and found space for the yard touchdown. That was a little too easy for New England. The yard pass was obviously the highlight of the possession, and that was just a great play design that sucked up Jerome Baker on the play fake, leaving Henry, who stayed in at first to block before leaking out an finding a hole, wide open. On 3rd-and-4, Tagovailoa was flushed from the pocket, with Kyle Van Noy able to track him down for the sack.
Not exactly the drive the Dolphins needed there. The defense has to step up and force a punt here. Jones threw to Harris for a yard gain to start the drive, moving the ball to the Miami yard line. After two incomplete passes targeting Meyers, including a nice pass breakup from cornerback Nik Needham, New England called timeout to avoid a delay of game. On 3rd-and, the Patriots seemed confused by the defensive setup from Miami and Jones threw the ball to no one in the flat, leading to a punt.
That was a good defensive stand. The amoeba defense did exactly what it is supposed to do, with the Patriots unsure of where to go with the routes. Miami began the next drive with a false start penalty on Austin Jackson, setting them into a 1st-and from their own Jan 13, at am ET 2 min read.
