LOSS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 00 New Orleans Saints 41

Josh Freeman threw for 279 yards, no touchdowns, and threw 4 interceptions.

Doug Martin rushed for a season low 16 yards. On defense, Daquan Bowers had the only sack. Mark Barron led the team in tackles. The Tampa Bay defense allowed the Saints to rush for 149 yards. The Buccaneers were shut out throughout the entire game. The last shut out the Buccaneers had was during week 3 of the 2009 season, when the New York Giants beat the Buccaneers 24–0.

More importantly the loss mathematically eliminated the Buccaneers from playoff contention.
