The Indianapolis Colts (6-5) host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-3) in NFL Week 12 action. The Lucas Oil Stadium roof is closed.

The Colts want to extend the momentum of winning 5 of their past 6 games, including a blowout of the Buffalo Bills last weekend. The Bucs — after losing 2 straight heading into their bye week — righted the ship with a Monday night victory over the New York Giants. 

Colts running back Jonathan Taylor leads the NFL in rushing. The Bucs are stout against the run and get superior defensive tackle Vita Vea back from injury. The quarterback matchup features the Colts' Carson Wentz against Tampa's Tom Brady
