Indianapolis Colts defensive lineman DeForest Buckner ahead of his clash against the Bucs was asked about the quarterback’s longevity. In response, the Colts player cheekily replied that if he’s playing for such a long time, it most likely means he has no money. Speaking to Stephen Holder of the Athletic, the 27-year-old said“If I’m playing football at 44, it means I’m broke.” Hilarious.

Wide Receiver Mike Evans also had a brilliant performance. The WR had 73 yards receiving and a touchdown while Rob Gronkowski returned to action after missing time because of a rib ailment and had 71 yards receiving. Jones, on the other hand, threw for 167 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions while completing 23 of his 38 passes. All in all, it was a complete performance by the Tampa Bay side.

With the Bucs looking in red hot form, the Colts defense needs to be careful. Who do you think will come on top? Let us know!
