Bernhard Raimann and the Indianapolis Colts had a successful dress rehearsal for their guest game next Sunday (3:30 p.m.) in Frankfurt. The Colts ended their negative run on Sunday with a 27:13 win over the Carolina Panthers and thus gained confidence for the duel with the New England Patriots. Speaking of Frankfurt: Kansas City had the upper hand in the first part of the spectacle on Sunday.

In Charlotte, North Carolina, it was primarily the defense that ensured that Indianapolis left the field as winners after three defeats in a row and for the fourth time this season. With four wins and five defeats, the Colts, where Raimann started again as left tackle on the offensive line, remain in the race for promotion to the knockout rounds in the Southern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC).
The match winner for the Colts in Charlotte was defender Kenny Moore II, who carried two interceptions back into the Panthers’ end zone for touchdowns. Jonathan Taylor contributed another touchdown to the visitors’ victory after a pass from quarterback Gardner Minshew. Carolina’s quarterback Bryce Young threw the ball to the opponent three times for a touchdown. The youngster was also knocked down four times by the Colts defenders.
In contrast to Indianapolis, the upcoming opponent in Frankfurt, the New England Patriots, took another step away from the play-offs. The six-time Super Bowl champion was beaten 17:20 at home by the Washington Commanders on Sunday, suffering their seventh defeat in the ninth game and can now more or less put an end to their hopes of participating in the play-offs.
Chiefs keep Miami at bay
The Kansas City Chiefs previously won the first NFL guest game this season in Germany. The Super Bowl winner led by superstar Patrick Mahomes defeated the Miami Dolphins 21:14 on Sunday in front of 50,023 spectators at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt. At halftime the Chiefs were already ahead 21-0, and in the second half only the Dolphins scored. In the end, two touchdowns were not enough.
“The fans were loud and passionate. They understand the game. It was great for the NFL to give us that opportunity. “I would be happy to play here again,” said Mahomes. “It was super cool to be here. The entire experience. Everyone was excited.” The game felt like a home game, added the star player. His coach Andy Reid saw it that way: “It was very loud. It didn’t matter whether the fans were from Germany or Kansas. It was loud and aggressive. We felt that and we are grateful for it,” emphasized Reid.
Stroud sets rookie record
The fans in Houston experienced an even greater sporting spectacle. There, the Texans, led by young star CJ Stroud, celebrated a 39:37 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after a spectacular final phase. Stroud led his team 75 yards down the field in the last 40 seconds and finally threw the decisive 15-yard pass to Tank Dell. With passes for 470 yards and five touchdowns, the 22-year-old also set a new record for rookies in the NFL.
