BUCS VS SAINTS SCORE CRACKED

Rookie Chris Olave dropped a well-placed pass from Dalton on third down simply because he took his eyes off the ball, leading to a possession-wasting punt. Dalton was sharp throughout the night, but those numbers could have been better if his targets did their part. First off, his final line was solid: 20 of 28, 229 yards and one touchdown for a 107.6 passer rating.

Andy Dalton deserves more credit for this performance.

Allen's performance wasn't dotted with clear blunders, but certainly included plenty of questionable decisions that contributed to their defeat. The Saints paid dearly for that call, just as they did for playing soft zone coverage for much of Brady's first touchdown drive before inexplicably switching to man, leaving Paulson Adebo alone on Mike Evans, leading to a pass interference penalty that set up the score. The personnel decision on third down raised an eyebrow, because if the Saints knew their best play was a pass, it would've made more logical sense to place a natural receiver in Hill's place, not an unpolished pass-catcher.

That field goal left the door cracked open just enough for Tampa Bay to believe it still had a chance, and two consecutive three-and-outs - including one in which Taysom Hill dropped a great third-down pass from Dalton beyond the sticks - saved enough time for Brady to mount an unlikely comeback. The most impactful result came when Mark Ingram took a reception out of bounds short of the line to gain on second-and-7, stopping the clock at 8:17 before an Andy Dalton pass was tipped at the line, landing incomplete and forcing New Orleans to accept another kick. The Saints repeatedly drove deep into Tampa Bay territory and consistently failed to convert on key downs, forcing them to settle for field goals. New Orleans simply should not have lost this game for a number of reasons. Dennis Allen has a lot of explaining to do.This time around, the Buccaneers needed 17 points to win, and Brady once again delivered. The 45-year-old has already done this once back in Week 9, leading a frantic comeback in a 16-13 win over the Rams. Those five minutes were just enough for Brady to lead yet another comeback, taking what was a nightmarish, depressing night in Tampa and turning it into a joyous occasion like only Brady can.

Then, with their backs against the wall, Brady and the Buccaneers woke up, covering 91 yards in 10 plays and 63 yards in 11 plays, doing all of it in less than five minutes of game time. The Bucs also punted twice earlier in the fourth quarter, including once from New Orleans' 40-yard line, eliciting a shower of boos from the fans before many headed for the exits. Tampa Bay had just 196 yards of total offense prior to its final two scoring drives and struggled to muster much of anything offensively. For 55 minutes Monday night, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers barely maintained a pulse.
