The Bucs fell to 1-3 in their throwback games in a touchdown spree against the Saints. The decisive play for
the Bucs came when Vincent Jackson went 95 yards on a passing play but was tackled at the one-yard line
and then the offense failed to score on the subsequent goal-line play. Jackson’s 216-yard game was a record.
