Finally, the Buccaneers are back on track after their win against the Arizona Cardinals, but it was not an easy victory. For most of the game, Tampa Bay led, and in the fourth quarter, Arizona fought back and nearly completed the comeback. This did not happen, but the Buccaneers had many opportunities to seal this game and did not, which seems like the theme of this season. The defense really stepped up throughout this game, and if it wasn’t for that side of the ball, Tampa Bay may have lost this game. Next on the schedule...

Yesterday, the New Orleans Saints waived WR Kevin Austin Jr. and OT Barry Wesley, which opened up two more spots on the active roster. With many options on the current practice squad, the Saints could have gone in a bunch of different directions. In the end, WR Dante Pettis and G William Sherman were signed to the active roster.
