3. Convert third downs

Indianapolis is still one of the best teams at converting on third down, ninth-best at 44%, but this week they will face another stingy third-down defense in Tampa Bay.

Surprisingly, the Buccaneers have the fourth-best third-down defense in the NFL. They only allow a conversion rate of, 33% but the Colts must stay on their 44% mark if they want to win on Sunday.

This must be attained by getting into favorable third down and distance situations. If they face a third and medium or third and longs all day, it could be difficult to keep the offense on the field.
