Indianapolis Colts
All-time record: 4-7
Until the Monday night meltdown when the Bucs threw a 21-point lead away in the last five minutes, they had done pretty well against the Colts in recent match-ups. Tampa Bay had won the previous two meetings with the Indianapolis (and formerly Baltimore Colts), but now trail by two game in the all-time match-up between the two franchises. The 1979 win in Baltimore was part of the five-game winning streak that started that season and featured a Buc comeback from a 17-0 first quarter deficit. The 1988 game was memorable for it being Vinny's best passing yardage performance as a Buc, his 469-yard tally ranking second on the Buc all-time list behind Doug Williams' 486-yard effort against Minnesota eight years earlier.
