Bucs Get Win On Monday Night Football

The Tampa Bay Bucs overcame two long touchdown passes by Curtis Painter to beat the Indianapolis Colts 24-17 in Tampa on Monday Night Football. Tampa Bay is 3-1 while the Colts fall to 0-4.

Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman threw for nearly 300 yards and running back LeGarrette Blount ran for 127 more as the Bucs overcame Painter’s touchdown passes to wideout Pierre Garcon that covered 87 and 59 yards.

Former Gator running back Earnest Graham was also productive for Tampa Bay, catching several passes out of the backfield and running it a few times as well.

The Colts meanwhile are 0-4 for the first time since injured quarterback Peyton Manning’s rookie year of 1998.
