STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES – Tampa Bay has won two straight and three of last four. … Bucs have three road wins this season. … QB Jameis Winston threw five touchdown passes last week, giving him 15 for season, four short of tying Bucs’ rookie record. … Tampa Bay has forced at least one turnover in 17 consecutive games, longest active streak in NFL. … RB Doug Martin is tied with Warrick Dunn for second-most 100-yard games (11) in franchise history and needs 59 yards to become second 1,000-yard rusher in league in 2015. … Win would tie Colts’ longest winning streak (three) and put them over .500 for second time this season. … Forty-year-old QB Matt Hasselbeck is 3-0 in relief of Andrew Luck, who is expected to miss Sunday’s game with lacerated kidney and partially torn abdominal muscle. … Hasselbeck needs five pass attempts to surpass John Unitas (5,186) for 19th, and 24 passes to move past Boomer Esiason (5,205) for No. 18 on NFL’s career list for attempts. … RB Frank Gore needs 42 yards from scrimmage to move past Hall of Famer Jim Brown (14,811). … WR Andre Johnson needs 35 yards receiving to move into NFL’s top 10 for career. … K Adam Vinatieri can tie John Carney for ninth in league history with 301 games played. … Fantasy Tip: Colts RB Ahmad Bradshaw could be sneaky play. He caught two TD passes last week after catching career-high six in 2014.
