Colts vs. Buccaneers injuries, odds, TV, streaming in NFL Week 12

The Indianapolis Colts return from their bye week by hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in NFL Week 12 action.

The Colts (5-5) have won two straight, beating the Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots largely through strong defensive performances. Indianapolis has had trouble at home (1-4 record, sacking opposing quarterbacks just 1.6 times per home game).

The Bucs (4-6) got handled by the San Francisco 49ers last weekend as their league-worst rushing attack continued to struggle. Tampa Bay is last in the NFL in rushing yards (769), yards per carry (3.1) and runs of 20+ yards (1). San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy compiled a perfect quarterback rating against Tampa Bay (158.3, 21-of-25 for 333 yards and 3 touchdowns), though the Bucs sacked him 4 times.
