Bill Belichick and the Patriots are 8-4. Tom Brady and the Buccaneers are 8-3. Turns out, both guys are really, really good.

Leonard Fournette finds the end zone for the third time! Three-point game in Indy. #GoBucs 📺: #TBvsIND on FOX 📱: NFL app pic.twitter.com/paNpvhiTe6
What's remaining of Vita Vea's tooth 😠(📸: @Buccaneers) pic.twitter.com/bwPrjsoc0U
Bucs' LB Devin White questionable to return today due to a hip injury. Bucs' CB Jamel Dean questionable to return to today due to a shoulder injury.
Ryan Succop is good from 25 yards and Bucs extend their lead to 31-24 on Colts. They've scored 17 straight points. 10:07 left in Indy.
Evans brought in three of five targets for 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Evans struggled with a Colts secondary known to be tough on wideouts, leading to his lowest yardage total of the season. Evans has also now recorded three receptions or less in four of the last six contests, and Sunday, he wasn't able to prop up his fantasy production with a touchdown, as he'd one at least once in five games during that same span. A more appealing positional matchup does await Evans in Week 13, however, as the Buccaneers travel to Atlanta to face an average Falcons secondary.
Rob Gronkowski now has six catches for 114 yards, marking the 30th 100-yard game of his incredible career, and his second as a Buccaneer.
DT Vita Vea, LB Devin White and WR Scotty Miller all active vs Colts. Imactives are WR Antonio Brown, LG Ali Marpet, QB Kyle Trask, S Andrew Adams, RB Ke'Shawn Vaughn
Chris Godwin's last catch, for seven yards, increased his career total to 4,329 receiving yards, which put him past Vincent Jackson (4,326) and into fourth place in franchise history.
Ronald Jones in and gets 5 yards on first down.
Wow. Scotty Miller recovers a Colts muff on punt.
Arians says guard Nick Leverett will get a game ball for subbing in so well after Aaron Stinnie's knee injury.
Pierre Desir picks off Wentz' final pass and Bucs beat Colts 38-31.
Antoine Winfield,Jr. with his second interception of the season and the third of his career, and the Bucs have the ball back at their own 35, down by three with 5:22 left in the third quarter.
Bruce Arians: "First 30 weren't pretty but the second 30 was really pretty." Called the second half one of the Bucs' best halves yet.
Shaquil Barrett with his second sack of the day - this one a sack-fumble - bringing his season total to 7.5. Barrett leads the NFL with 11 strip sacks since joining Tampa Bay in 2019.
Thing of beauty. Wentz to Dulin for 62 TD on deep post. Dulin ran past Sean Murphy-Bunting.
Lavonte David has recorded the 146th start of his career. That now ranks fourth in franchise history, just ahead of Tony Mayberry's 145. Only Ronde Barber, Derrick Brooks and Paul Gruber had more.
CB Jamel Dean is OUT for the remainder of the game (shoulder). pic.twitter.com/lEyA2cJzL7
Brady throws 9 yards to Tyler Johnson. Bucs decline a 5-yard penalty for illegal hands to the face.
It's criminal that #Bucs DC Todd Bowles drops Anthony Nelson in coverage. After 3 years of doing it we have yet to see him make a play when dropping.
I'm curious if the Bucs would dress rookie Kyle Trask (as a third active QB) late in the year to set up chance for him to get some live game reps if they can put the game away early. He's been inactive every week so far. twitter.com/Jarrod_Parker/…
Bucs OC Byron Leftwich knows this stadium well, having played in same division as Colts in his Jaguars days. Got sacked six times in a game here once, but also had the second-highest QB rating of his career here, throwing for 300 and two TDs in a 2004 win.
Jaguars force a punt on the opening drive and Jaydon Mickens pumps up the crowd after the fair catch. Seems happy to be back.
Bucs say Jaelon Darden is being evaluated for a concussion.
Carlton Davis has not been activated off injured reserve, so will not be playing today. Returned to practice this past week and should be in good position to return healthy from his quad injury at Atlanta in one week. twitter.com/tommyx54/statu…
Nice pressure by Anthony Nelson to force an incompletion. He's played well in limited snaps last three games.
Michael Badgley good from 45 yards and Colts take a 3-0 lead -- that's all on the 4-yard punt by Bradley Pinion. Could be much worse to open the game ...
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor has a chance at history today: if he surpasses 100 yards from scrimmage and scores a rushing TD, he would become the first player in NFL history to do so in 9 straight games. The Bucs allow just 78.4 rush yards/game, easily the best in the NFL.
Carson Wentz at halftime vs Bucs: 🔥 16/24 🔥 197 yards 🔥 3 TDs 🔥 131.4 passer rating pic.twitter.com/6gj0wFkfF8
Colts LB Darius Leonard this season: - 5 forced fumbles - 2 INT - 2 fumble recoveries A walking forced turnover.
Antoine Winfield Jr: 5'9" Michael Pittman Jr: 6'4" MOSSED 🤯 pic.twitter.com/acWb9zPecb
Zach Pascal has been invaluable for the Colts the past couple of seasons. But he has really come back to earth in 2021. Wide receiver a big need for 2022.
Say this for Frank Reich: He's never met a fourth down he couldn't talk himself into.
Some big, big plays by DeForest Buckner in this second half.
Hello, Ashton Dulin Wentz throws a beauty, and the Colts get a 62-yard touchdown. Up 10-7 on the Super Bowl champs
Two really, really clutch plays for T.Y. Hilton today.
Isaiah Rodgers read that the whole way.... kid's got something. Two turnovers for Indys' defense on Brady and the Bucs in the first half.
Brutal rep for Eric Fisher there, getting beat off the edge by Shaq Barrett. Bucs force a much-needed turnover and take over. Feels like that play could prove huge. Indy on the verge of going up 27-14 at least...
Cathedral wins their 14th State Title on Friday at Lucas Oil. And Jack Doyle with his best game of the season two days later inside LOS. Duh.
Spectacular break on the ball by Rock Ya-Sin. But you HAVE to make Brady pay for that throw. Have to.
This has turned into a complete avalanche by the Colts. Nyheim Hines fumbles the punt. Tampa recovers the ball at Indy's 19. That's four turnovers by Indy today.
That's such a good read and play by Taylor Stallworth. What a start for the Indy D.
Michigan on Michigan crime as Kwity Paye gets his second career sack. #Colts
Indianapolis Colts legendary defensive end Robert Mathis will be inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor during halftime of Sunday’s Week 12 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Mathis was initially going to be inducted during the 2020 season but with COVID-19 limiting the amount of fans allowed in the stadium, Jim Irsay felt it best to postpone in order for Mathis to get the proper celebration.
Head coach Frank Reich gave some words about Mathis on Wednesday.
“I just want to start off by saying congratulations to Robert Mathis obviously on his Ring of Honor. Well-deserved, everybody around here knows that for sure. I couldn’t help but see his comments about not taking anything for granted, earning a seat at the table,†Reich said. “When I read those comments I was like, yeah that’s true about this guy. I was here before as an assistant coach, got a chance to watch it up close and live. He’s a unique player, a unique person. I’m really happy for Robert and what he’s achieved and how he represents the Colts. So, an honor well-deserved.â€
