Bucs RB Leonard Fournette caps four-TD day with game winner vs. Colts
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette had a career day against the Indianapolis Colts, finishing with three rushing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown.
Fournette's final touchdown was the perfect cherry on top of his big day, as he bulldozed through a couple Colts defenders on a 28-yard score to give the Buccaneers the lead with just 20 seconds left in the game.
Fournette, 26, had only one career three-touchdown game before Sunday -- a playoff win during his time with the Jacksonville Jaguars -- and entered Sunday with four touchdowns through the Buccaneers first 10 contests in 2021. While Fournette doubled his season touchdown total, his last score of the day also left the door ajar for the Colts and gave the Indianapolis a chance to tie the game.
The Colts returned the ensuing kickoff 72 yards, but Carson Wentz threw an incomplete pass followed by an interception to seal the win for the Buccaneers.
Fournette also finished with 100 rushing yards, his most since Week 2 of the 2020 season.
