The 40-year-old quarterback has won all three of his starts this season, kept the Colts in contention for a third straight AFC South title and still enjoys life in the NFL. “You talk about great running back, what do they have?” “There’s no room for error now you could say with six loses, but we are going to come back against Atlanta next week and it’s going to be a distant memory for us”.
Don’t expect that to happen anytime soon.
“We’ve to execute higher”, Winston stated when requested why the Buccaneers failed to attain through the second half.
Hasselbeck completed 26 of 42 passes for 315 yards and the two TDs. Which means they sacked Winston, the future of the franchise, five times.
Hasselbeck will get a lot of his attention for his big game and 4-0 record this season. “Great play calls and our guys executed and got the job done”. He has made 16 consecutive field goals since missing his first two attempts this season.
The Colts were able to defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, overcoming a sluggish first half on their way to 6-5 on the season.
“It just wasn’t our day today”, Bucs coach Lovie Smith said.
Though he didn’t play badly in his first career game, rookie right tackle Denzelle Good did commit four penalties: a personal foul, a hold and two false starts.
Romo has tried his best to make an impact, insisting on coming back earlier than some may have advised, however, on Thursday he gave up three interceptions with two of them being returned for touchdowns. The defense forced four turnovers, with OLB Lavonte David grabbing two.

Johnson needs 35 yards receiving to move into the league’s top 10, and Vinatieri will tie John Carney for No. 9 in NFL history with 301 games played.
“They’re a professional’s professional”, the Colts head coach stated Sunday. Two plays later, Hasselbeck hooked up with Hilton for the clinching 3-yard TD pass. “We have a five-game stretch, no time for doom and gloom”, Smith said. Luck was diagnosed with a lacerated kidney and a partially torn abdominal muscle, so he won’t be playing against the Buccaneers.
“We’re just playing team football, and I’m trying not to screw it up”, Hasselbeck said. The Bucs entered last week’s game converting just 38.5 percent of their third downs but with the ground game clicking with RB Doug Martin, QB Jameis Winston was set up in favorable down-and-distances. Indianapolis’ Donte Moncrief had eight catches for 114 yards….

TRANSACTION: With LB Bruce Carter sidelined Sunday and evaluated for a concussion, the Bucs signed LB Adarius Glanton from the Panthers’ practice squad. Smith declined to provide updates on any other injured players…. But his players do realize they’ll have to change that trend to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Bucs also need linebacker depth with starter Kwon Alexander expected to serve a four-game suspension for violating the league’s policies on performance-enhancing drugs.
