In the all-time regular season series between the teams, the Colts own an 8-7 advantage but the Buccaneers have won the last two meetings.

Tampa Bay lost for the fifth time in six games as they were knocked off on the road by San Francisco last week. The Buccaneers fell to 4-6 on the season and stood tied for second in the NFC South, one game behind the Saints for the top spot. They stood 11th in the NFC playoff picture: the Seahawks own the final wild card spot at 6-5. Against San Francisco, Tampa Bay never led in the game as they were down 7-0 after the opening quarter, 13-7 at the half and 27-7 after three quarters, leaving them too far behind to rally in the final stanza. The Buccaneers were outgained 420-287 in total offense, lost time of possession by a 30:51 to 29:09 margin and turned the ball over twice while failing to record a takeaway. Those numbers overshadowed that each team picked up 22 first downs in the game.
