Sure, the Bucs looked terrible, but at least the Saints lost too
The Colts were able to do whatever they wanted on offense in both the run and pass game, as well as causing a couple key turnovers on the defensive side of the ball, the most important coming via a strip sack in the 4th quarter that put the final nail in the coffin that was this horrible game.
Indy was able to run for 155 yards and throw for 239 on the day, overcoming some shoddy passes by quarterback Garner Minshew, one of which led to a Carlton Davis interception.
Minshew even mixed in a rushing TD for the day, sending Devin White into oblivion on a little shimmy move that many middle-aged men probably broke out during their annual Turkey Bowl games this past Thanksgiving.
Every facet of the game the Bucs could have been bad at, they were; offensively they were their usual inconsistent selves, with Baker Mayfield going down with an ankle injury that derailed their first drive of the game from being a TD, forcing the Bucs to settle for 3 despite getting inside the Colts 1 yard-line after Kyle Trask was thrust into the game and couldn’t get anything going.
On special teams Jake Camarda missed a couple opportunities to pin the Colts deep inside their own territory after the Bucs couldn’t get anything going and were forced to punt around mid field, as the former Georgia Bulldog booted a couple punts into the end zone for touchbacks throughout the game.
At least Rachaad White, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin all had relatively decent games despite the rest of the offense being so miserable.
It’s still very much a Bucs life, but at least the Saints lost this Sunday to the Falcons, giving the Bucs a window to still, despite their struggles, be right in the thick of this NFC South race.
The defense was missing Jamel Dean and Lavonte David, and Devin White was dealing with an injury of his own, and they certainly looked the part, as the Bucs fell 27-20 in Indianapolis to make their record 1-6 over their past 7 games.The Colts were able to do whatever they wanted on offense in both the run and pass game, as well as causing a couple key turnovers on the defensive side of the ball, the most important coming via a strip sack in the 4th quarter that put the final nail in the coffin that was this horrible game.Indy was able to run for 155 yards and throw for 239 on the day, overcoming some shoddy passes by quarterback Garner Minshew, one of which led to a Carlton Davis interception.Minshew even mixed in a rushing TD for the day, sending Devin White into oblivion on a little shimmy move that many middle-aged men probably broke out during their annual Turkey Bowl games this past Thanksgiving.Every facet of the game the Bucs could have been bad at, they were; offensively they were their usual inconsistent selves, with Baker Mayfield going down with an ankle injury that derailed their first drive of the game from being a TD, forcing the Bucs to settle for 3 despite getting inside the Colts 1 yard-line after Kyle Trask was thrust into the game and couldn’t get anything going.On special teams Jake Camarda missed a couple opportunities to pin the Colts deep inside their own territory after the Bucs couldn’t get anything going and were forced to punt around mid field, as the former Georgia Bulldog booted a couple punts into the end zone for touchbacks throughout the game.At least Rachaad White, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin all had relatively decent games despite the rest of the offense being so miserable.It’s still very much a Bucs life, but at least the Saints lost this Sunday to the Falcons, giving the Bucs a window to still, despite their struggles, be right in the thick of this NFC South race.
