On a crucial third-and-three, after using all three of their timeouts, the Buccaneers’ defense came up big when called upon, stopping the Saints’ drive.

Drew Brees pitched the ball out to RB Darren Sproles who couldn’t turn the corner and was swallowed up by the Buccaneers for a one-yard gain, setting up fourth-and-two.

The Saints will punt the ball away following the two-minute warning.

Josh Freeman and the Buccaneer offense will take over with what seems to be one more chance to tie the game.
