Drew Brees had just one touchdown and threw two interceptions, but the New Orleans Saints' improved defense kept them in the game as they beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 16-14 with a last second field goal.

The Saints had a +12.4 advantage in the Trench Counter, completing seven additional first downs and a better yards per play average. New Orleans had a +4 edge in Total/Rushes Completions.

Jimmy Graham had a monster game, catching 10 balls for 179 yards and a touchdown.

Josh Freeman struggled amid another round of reports suggesting his future with the Buccaneers is bleak. Freeman went 9-for-22 for 125 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

Doug Martin rushed 29 times for 144 yards.

The Buccaneers scored a fourth quarter touchdown on a Brees' interception that had looked like the potential game-winner.
