Colts receiver Alec Pierce didn't think his foot would allow him to play vs Patriots but the team needed him and he delivered

The Patriots are 22nd in the NFL in passing yards allowed with 224.4 per contest, giving Indianapolis a chance to move the ball through the air. However, given the recent rough outings from running back Jonathan Taylor, the Colts might try to emphasize the running attack more.

The Indianapolis Colts will have wide receiver Alec Pierce back on the field as they visit the New England Patriots, who will see the return of safety Jabrill Peppers, on Sunday in Foxborough, Mass. Pierce missed practice Wednesday and Thursday with a foot injury but returned to full practice Friday and is expected to play against the Patriots (3-9).
