| (MySportsbook) - The undefeated Indianapolis Colts will face their biggest challenge to date when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium on Monday night. Colts head coach Tony Dungy, who won the most games in Bucs history when he coached the team from 1996-2001, returns to his old home with a red-hot ball club. The Colts scored a season-high 55 points in their Week 4 victory in New Orleans and now have a chance to improve to 5-0 for the first time since 1977. "My biggest thought all week |

| Tampa, FL (MySportsbook) - Tampa Bay Buccaneers fullback Mike Alstott has been downgraded from probable to questionable for Monday's game against Indianapolis because of a neck strain. Alstott missed practice Friday to have tests on his neck, but the results did not reveal why the Pro Bowl runner has been bothered by neck pain for the past couple of weeks. "We're going to bring some experts in here and they will look at him," said Bucs head coach Jon Gruden. "We're giving him some tests and we're hoping the test |

| Coles and Ramsey have been a lethal combination this year, hooking up 28 times for 453 yards and a touchdown. Look for Washington to attempt to get man-to- man coverage with Coles against Sheppard in this contest. If the Eagles pay too much attention to Coles, they will likely get burned by possession receiver Rod Gardner. Gardner has caught 19 balls for 194 yards and two scores this season. UP NEXT: The Redskins' schedule gets even tougher next week against the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. |

| Tampa, FL (MySportsbook) - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed wide receiver Marvin Minnis to a two-year contract Tuesday. After Joe Jurevicius sustained a torn medial collateral ligament in his right knee, Tampa Bay looked for help at the receiver position. First, the team re- signed Charles Lee, who was inactive for Sunday's game in Atlanta. Lee was released on Tuesday when the Bucs inked Minnis, who had been released in August at the end of Kansas City's training camp. Minnis missed much of the 2002 season with a |

| (MySportsbook) - There isn't a blueprint on how to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have given up only 12 points this year. But the big, bad Bucs are susceptible to power backs running between the tackles. Carolina's Stephen Davis had 142 yards rushing last week against Tampa Bay, and Bucs All-Pro safety John Lynch expects the Atlanta Falcons to follow the same game plan come Sunday. "They've been running the ball well," Lynch said of the Falcons. "They're going to come out and try to establish the run. I see |
