Defensive spotlight: Colts linebacker Sterling Weatherford stole the show against the run against the Buccaneers, posting five run stops in just 21 run-defense snaps. Two of Weatherford's stops resulted in a loss or no gain for the Buccaneers offense.

Rookie spotlight: Colts rookie tackle Bernhard Raimann put together a well-rounded performance Saturday evening, finishing with a 70.0-plus grade from 40 total snaps (including penalties). He was particularly lights out in pass protection, allowing zero pressures across 19 pass-blocking snaps for an 85.0-plus pass-blocking grade one first review.

Early offensive line analysis: Collectively, the Buccaneers and Colts offensive lines allowed just six total pressures on first review. Buccaneers center Robert Hainsey might have been the most impressive in pass protection, allowing zero pressures across 13 pass-blocking snaps.
