A last-second 68-yard FG attempt by Joey Slye of the Pats fell short as they suffered their first home loss to the Colts in 18 years, not counting the neutral-site game in Frankfurt the previous season. As a result, the loss, alongside Houston's win over Jacksonville, eliminated the Patriots from playoff contention for the third year in a row.{{cite web |last=Golen |first=Jimmy |agency=Associated Press |title=Red-zone woes, failure to stop Colts on 4th down doom Patriots to 3rd straight loss |website=News Center Maine |date=2024-12-01 |url=https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/sports/nfl/patriots/patriots-colts-field-goal-joey-slye-miss/97-646388fd-556f-4749-8f11-91ed209db334 |access-date=2024-12-28}}

With the win, the Patriots snap their six game losing streak, while securing their first home win in 10 weeks, and finish 4–13 for the second straight year. However, thanks to the Jets's win over Miami, the Patriots finished dead last in the AFC East in back-to-back years for the first time since 1999–2000. Jerod Mayo was fired shortly after the game.
