The Buccaneers were on the wrong side of a surprising upset on Sunday as they fell to the Saints at home 24-20. After surviving the tough stretch of their season, the Buccaneers were expected to cruise to wins against the Cardinals and Saints to maintain their division lead over the Panthers. Instead, they barely outlasted the Cardinals and lost to the Saints to fall to 7-6 on the year.
From going 3-of-13 on third down, 2-of-7 on fourth down and allowing Tyler Shough to rush for two touchdowns, there were a number of plays that caused the Buccaneers to lose to the Saints. Among those costly moments was a critical drop from rookie receiver Emeka Egbuka.
