On the cusp of the playoff chase the Buccaneers went into a contest against the Indianapolis Colts.

While the defense was riding two successful outings and looking to make it three on their way to a 6-5 record.

What happened was the same thing which had happened to defenses before them; a resurgent Matt Hasselbeck quarterbacked the Colts to a victory and dismantled the Bucs defense to the tune of 315 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Kwon Alexander led his unit in a losing effort as he totaled ten tackles further bolstering his surprising rise to one of Tampa Bay’s best defenders.
