The Indianapolis Colts emerged victorious for the first time this preseason with a 27-10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Offensive spotlight: Among players who played at least 20 snaps, Colts receiver Dezmon Patmon impressed, catching all three of his targets for 50 yards. Two of Patmon's receptions resulted in first downs, and the Washington State product forced a missed tackle as a receiver as well.
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.
