RECAP: The Colts opened by marching 73 yards in five plays. It was the first touchdown drive of more than 2 yards given up by the Bucs this season. The big play was Peyton Manning's 37-yard touchdown to Marvin Harrison, who ran past cornerback Tim Wansley. The Bucs answered late with an 85-yard drive capped by Brad Johnson's 15-yard TD to Keenan McCardell.

KEY PLAY: Tampa Bay's long scoring drive had several key plays, including a 20-yard catch by Michael Pittman, a 14-yard pass to Keyshawn Johnson and a 17-yard pass to Mike Alstott. The best was the touchdown by McCardell, who stuck his toes just inside the end zone.

STATS: Rushing yards - Bucs 44, Colts 22; Passing yards - Bucs 84, Colts 85; Total yards - Bucs 128, Colts 107; Turnovers - Bucs 0, Colts 0; Sacks - Bucs 0, Colts 0; Time of possession - Bucs 9:48, Colts 5:12.

DID YOU NOTICE: The 73 yards gained on the Colts' scoring drive nearly matched their yards for the first half (74). ... Simeon Rice was called for a 15-yard face mask on Ricky Williams. But after the stadium scoreboard showed he grabbed Williams' shoulder pads, the penalty was waived off. ... The best hit of the game: Colts cornerback Walt Harris decking receiver Reggie Barlow as he hung on to an 11-yard pass to the Colts 15.
