The Indianapolis Colts aren’t living up to expectations and they faced a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that is exceeding theirs. The Colts and Bucs entered the game tied at 5-5 and a winning record was on the line.

Matt Hasselbeck led the Colts to a win, throwing for 315 yards and two touchdown passes in the second half to win the game. T.Y. Hilton was the recipient of both of receptions, giving him six catches for 95 yards on the day.

The Colts couldn’t get their ground game going though, and had an embarrassing 27 yards on the ground in total. Frank Gore rushed 19 times for a total of 24 yards, giving him an average of a little over one yard per carry.

The Colts, on the other hand, struggled to slow down the Bucs ground attack, Doug Martin rushing 14 times for 97 yards. Either way, the Colts were able to squeak out the win.

The Colts are tied in a tight race in the AFC South with the Houston Texans, both tied at 6-5. The Colts could lose ground next week, facing a tough Pittsburgh Steelers team. The Texans and the Colts play once again in Week 15.
