Patriots-Colts Week 13 Game Flexed To 1 P.M. On WBZ-TV

FOXBORO (CBS) - Not that this was surprising, but the Patriots-Colts game on Dec. 4 against the Colts has been moved from its original 8:20 p.m. time slot to 1 p.m., the Patriots announced Tuesday.

WBZ-TV will carry the game live on Dec. 4 at 1 p.m.

The match-up lost its luster with the Colts off to an 0-9 start and franchise quarterback Peyton Manning likely out for the season.

The Colts have had a lot of issues replacing Manning this season. They first went with Kerry Collins, who played poorly and is now out for the year with a concussion, and now have turned to backup QB Curtis Painter, who is now 0-6 in his first year as a starter.

Without Manning, the Colts have struggled mightily on offense and defense, and may be in line for the first pick in next April's NFL Draft.

The Patriots, meanwhile, are 5-3 heading into a big divisional clash on Sunday Night Football against the Jets.
