KEY POINTS:
Tom Brady threw two fourth-quarter touchdown strikes to lift the New England Patriots to a 24-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts in the battle of unbeaten National Football League teams.
The clash had received a Super Bowl-like buildup and lived up to the hype, the Patriots improving to 9-0 to stay on course to join the 1972 Miami Dolphins as just the second NFL team to record a perfect season.
Trailing 10-20 with nine minutes to play, quarterback Brady engineered two scoring drives capped by scoring passes to Wes Welker and Kevin Faulk.
