Started in the Colts’ dime package in a 33-14 week 5 victory over Tampa Bay and also saw action on defense in week 9 against New England as a replacement for injured Pro Bowl safety Bob Sanders.

Despite only playing the second half, he made a team-high 10 tackles.

Since the Colts resigned former running back Dominic Rhodes, there has been much speculation about whether or no Bullitt would give up his number (33) to the former RB.
