Jacoby Brissett and the Indianapolis Colts came into their Week 14 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in desperate need of a win. With their playoff hopes hanging on by a thread, they cannot afford to drop this game against a fairly poor Tampa Bay team that has no playoff aspirations left.

Right off the bat, the Colts are making it clear that they know how important this game is. Brissett has received a lot of criticism over the past couple of weeks, but he made a huge play to put the Colts up early.

Brissett put the Colts on the board with a 7-0 lead after an impressive 46-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Marcus Johnson. Take a look at the big touchdown for yourself:

Indianapolis has to take care of business early on and not allow this to be a competitive football game. They will need their defense to step up as well, but this is a great sign from the offense early on.
