For the the better part of this decade, the Buccaneers have been just good enough to stay competitive in games only to eventually find ways to lose. But you know what? With this decade coming to a close, this team might be figuring out ways to WIN close games. It’s too early to truly tell, but wouldn’t that be something?
At the very least, Tampa Bay did that on Sunday, beating the Indianapolis Colts 38-35 after trailing 35-21 at one point in the second half. The Bucs shot themselves in the foot plenty of times in this game — they turned the ball over four times — but they fought back with some big plays on both sides of the ball.
