Buccaneers' NFL-best defense challenges the unbeaten Colts

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- The thought of facing an offense coming off a 55-point performance would make some defenses shudder.
Not the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The NFL's stingiest defense likes challenges and welcomed the opportunity to play Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts tonight.
"I think you have to take it with a grain of salt because it's not us," Warren Sapp, Tampa Bay's All-Pro defensive tackle said of the Colts' offensive output in a 34-point rout of the New Orleans Saints last week.
"You look at them put up 55 on New Orleans and we laugh at it. That's not going down. But you've got to be ready to play. They're a high-powered offense with Marvin Harrison and Edgerrin James, and Peyton Manning is one of the best signal-callers you'll find from here and 80 years behind us. They're special, but we are, too.
"If you ask them how they win the game, they'd say: 'Put our offense out there.' And we'd say: 'Put our defense out there.' We'll see what we got."
Dungy returns
The Colts (4-0) visit the Super Bowl champions (2-1) tonight in a game that has the added intrigue of Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy returning to Raymond James Stadium for the first time since the Bucs fired him in January 2002.
Manning threw for 314 yards and six touchdowns, and the Colts gained a season-high 418 yards -- despite playing without James, a two-time NFL rushing champion -- in last Sunday night's win at New Orleans.
