Important stories

The rundown

When the Buccaneers play at home, they look - and, seemingly, are - unbeatable. With a 5-0 record and a +108 point differential at Raymond James Stadium, it seems impossible for a team to walk into Tampa Bay and expect a chance at victory,

That isn't the story when the Buccaneers go on the road, though, and that is their predicament this week. To make matters worse, the Bucs will take on an Indianapolis team in its home stadium that is 5-1 in its last six games.

Perhaps the biggest test of strength vs. strength that Tampa Bay will face this year, the Bucs' No. 1-ranked rushing defense will be tested by the NFL's leading rusher and lone 1,000+ yard back this year in Jonathan Taylor, who just scored five touchdowns against a fellow elite rushing defense owned by the Buffalo Bills.

Whereas, the elite Buccaneers' passing offense will face off versus the league's No. 1 defense in creating turnovers. Considering the six turnovers Tom Brady has been a part of in the last three games, this will be one of the most important matchups of Sunday's game.

Tampa Bay may have a more talented roster than Indianapolis, but this isn't a Colts team to take lightly. The Bucs will learn the hard way if they do.
