Ronde Barber intercepted Drew Brees in the first quarter to record his 46th career interception. The Saints defense allowed over 500 offensive yards to the Buccaneers. Josh Freeman threw for a career-high 420 yards and 3 touchdowns. Tampa Bay defense held the Saints to 81 rushing yards. Vicent Jackson had 7 receptions for a franchise record 216 yards and a touchdown. Jackson had a 95-yard catch, but failed to score after Malcolm Jenkins tackled him from behind. Connor Barth missed a field goal. Trailing by a touchdown in the final two minutes, Freeman drove the Buccaneers to the endzone. On the final play of the game, Freeman threw a game-tying touchdown pass to Mike Williams in the back of the endzone as time expired. However, the touchdown did not count because he stepped out of bounds before making the catch. This was the first home game of the season that was not blacked out and televised locally, and the first Sunday afternoon game at home to not be blacked out since 2009.
