If that was the strategy it was a dumb one. They had much better success stacking the box and letting the Colts become one dimensional. Like the Colts literally didn't score at all in the 2nd half other than Taylor's TD at the end when they were using the above strategy. And the Colts really didn't score when they were passing the ball 25 times in a row. Yes, the Bucs couldn't just rely on getting turnover after turnover (even though they did), but they definitely could rely on getting pressure on Wentz, which they did over and over and over in the 2nd half.
Like the only good thing about that strategy was the Colts burned some time off the clock, I guess. It definitely wasn't good for any other reason.

Well, first of all, they TD to end the 1st half came in the midst of that 25 play streak. And…
The Colts were moving the ball, virtually, at will the entire 3rd quarter. One drive ended on a fluke play, and the other ended at the Bucs 5 after Winfield shoved Pittman.
