The two-time defending NFC South champion Bucs (4-7) have lost four straight road games, this one in uncharacteristic fashion.

Indy gashed the usually stingy Tampa Bay run defense for 155 yards and 5.7 yards per carry — numbers that would have been even higher if Taylor had not slid down inbounds to keep the clock running late before the Colts started kneeling down.

Taylor had 15 carries for 91 yards and his first multiple-score game of the season. Zack Moss ran eight times for 55 yards.

The Colts took control early and never allowed the Bucs to completely recover after Baker Mayfield injured his right ankle on the game's opening series, an injury that forced Tampa Bay to settle for a field goal after having first-and-goal from the Indy 1-yard line.

Matt Gay tied the score with his first field goal and the Colts converted Ronnie Harrison Jr.'s interception into Taylor's powerful 4-yard run to make it 10-3.

Minshew extended the margin to 17-3 with a nifty sidestep of Bucs linebacker Devin White en route to a 2-yard TD run early in the second quarter.
