Tampa Bay Buccaneers 14 Indianapolis Colts 33
Sunday 7 October 2007 at the RCA Dome
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Kenny Albert and Darryl Johnston
The three game winning streak came to an end against
Indianapolis as the Bucs were held to just 17 yards rushing
and were manhandled most of the day by the team coached
by Tony Dungy. Peyton Manning was untouched, the Colts
rushed for over 100 yards and the Bucs did well to hold the
score to 33-14 in the end.
