How the Buccaneers got here
Let s take a quick look back at the highs and lows of the 2020 season. And with the reigning Super Bowl champs, we ll get the low points out of the way first.
The lows:
Tom Brady scored on a 2-yard touchdown run for Tampa Bay s first points of the season . but the team looked out of sorts in a Week 1 loss on the road in New Orleans.
Tom forgetting it was fourth down during a prime-time loss in Chicago. It was embarrassing for about a week, and then Tampa started to get it together and went on an amazing run. And in true Tom Brady fashion, he turned this faux pas into a positive meme for himself. Like, seriously, how is he always able to do that?
There doesn t appear to be a pattern. Miami and New York are big markets. Indianapolis and Minnesota have regularly been good over the past 10 years.
The teams hosting the most games lean heavily to the West Coast Oakland/Las Vegas, Arizona, San Francisco and Seattle are Nos. 2-5 but Jacksonville is No. 1 at 72.7% (8 of 11 prime-time games at home). Again, a mix of big and small markets and no obvious correlation to success.
The Colts most recent home prime-time game was Dec. 14, 2017. Three starters remain with the Colts from that game: Jack Doyle, T.Y. Hilton and Kenny Moore. Chuck Pagano was coaching. Frank Gore was the team s leading rusher. Antonio Morrison and Matthias Farley were the top tacklers. Jonathan Hankins and Barkevious Mingo had sacks.
