2021 NFL Power Rankings Week 13: Cowboys continue to slide, Packers bounce back

Following back-to-back losses, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have now won their past two games to put themselves back into the mix for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Last week, their win was an easy one as they beat up on the New York Giants 30-10 at home as they improved to 7-3. This weekend, however, it was nowhere near as east.

They were on the road playing Carson Wentz and the Indianapolis Colts and the home team gave them all they could handle. Wentz had 306 yards passing and three touchdowns — although the Bucs scored two picks including one to seal the win. At one point, Indy was up 24-14 but Tampa kept fighting and took the lead late.

Tampa Bay also slowed down Jonathan Taylor for most of the game, although he was instrumental in the late touchdown from Indy that tied it back up at 31. But then, Tom Brady and Leonard Fournette led them on a seven-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a 28-yard touchdown run from Fournette, who had three on the day.

This team is dangerous not only because of Brady and his ability to get his team back in the game but the fact that they can not only shut down the run but also control the clock with their own ground game is an underrated trait.
