STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES - Colts have fallen from first to third in AFC South after losing four of last five. … Indy lost last game at Tampa in 2011 but won previous road game with stunning comeback that included late leaping catch in 2003. … Colts have failed to top 20-point mark in three of last four games. … Colts are fourth in NFL in rushing (139.0 yards) and have committed fewest penalties in league (65). … With K Adam Vinatieri (knee) limited in practice, Colts claimed K Chase McLaughlin off waivers. Vinatieri has missed 14 kicks this season - eight field goals, six extra points - but could tie John Unitas (206) for third in games played in franchise history. Only Reggie Wayne (211) and Peyton Manning (208) have appeared in more games. … Jack Doyle needs 50 yards receiving to pass Raymond Chester (2,122) and Coby Fleener (2,154) for No. 5 in franchise history among tight ends. … DE Jabaal Sheard expected to make 100th career start. … Bucs OLB Shaquil Barrett leads league with career-high 14½ sacks, two shy of team single-season record set by Warren Sapp in 2000. … Barrett also leads NFL with six forced fumbles. … WRs Chris Godwin (1,121 yards) and Mike Evans (1,096) rank second and third in league in receiving yards. … QB Jameis Winston has thrown for 3,659 yards, second most in NFL. He leads league with 20 interceptions. … Fantasy tip: Godwin and Evans have never faced Colts secondary. TE Cameron Brate had five receptions for 53 yards and TD in last game between teams during Winston’s rookie season.
