For the second straight week, the Bucs lost on a late gasp fieldgoal as Drew Brees drove the Saints 54 yards in five plays to allow Garrett Hartley’s winning kick. The Bucs could have run out the clock but failed on a critcal third down play inside the two minute warning. Doug Martin had a big game on the ground but the passing attack was spotty and inconsistent.
