When it comes to dramatic late comeback wins, this one will take some beating. After an opening drive fieldgoal, the Buc offense did nothing for the rest of the game and with five minutes left, the score was 16-3 Saints and things looked bleak. A 91-yard drive led to Cade Otton’s score and after a quick three-and-out forced by the defense, the GOAT led his team downfield for another score and Rachaad White caught the winning pass with three seconds left.
