2022 NFL season, Week 13: What We Learned from Buccaneers ... (NFL.com)

Vintage Tom Brady found his way and led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a furious fourth-quarter comeback to defeat Andy Dalton and the New Orleans Saints on ...

Tampa Bay's offense was day-and-night better in the two-minute drill (which the Buccaneers were forced to run on both of their two touchdown drives due to a lack of available time), presumably with Brady calling the shots. Following a [Demario Davis](https://www.nfl.com/players/demario-davis/)interception, [Jarvis Landry](https://www.nfl.com/players/jarvis-landry/)failed to reel in another well-placed, third-down throw from Dalton, forcing New Orleans to settle for a field goal. Next Gen Stat of the game: The Buccaneers had a 0.7% win probability with 5:34 remaining in the fourth quarter. Fortunately for the Buccaneers, the Tampa Bay defense played well enough on third down to keep the Saints from running away with this one, buying the offense just enough time in the fourth quarter to put something together. The Buccaneers actively applied pressure on New Orleans' defense, which devolved from a stingy unit to a sieve. [Mark Ingram](https://www.nfl.com/players/mark-ingram/)took a reception out of bounds short of the line to gain on second-and-7, stopping the clock at 8:17 before an [Andy Dalton](https://www.nfl.com/players/andy-dalton/)pass was tipped at the line, landing incomplete and forcing New Orleans to accept another kick. - Give Brady the keys to the offense already. Rookie [Chris Olave](https://www.nfl.com/players/andy-dalton/)dropped a well-placed pass from Dalton on third down simply because he took his eyes off the ball, leading to a possession-wasting punt. Tampa Bay had just 196 yards of total offense prior to its final two scoring drives, was struggling to muster much of anything offensively and punted twice earlier in the fourth quarter, including once from New Orleans' 40-yard line, eliciting a shower of boos from the fans before many headed for the exits. The Saints paid dearly for that call, just as they did for playing soft zone coverage for much of Brady's first touchdown drive before inexplicably switching to man, leaving [Paulson Adebo](https://www.nfl.com/players/paulson-adebo/)alone on [Mike Evans](https://www.nfl.com/players/mike-evans/), leading to a pass interference penalty that set up the score. That field goal left the door cracked open just enough for Tampa Bay to believe it still had a chance, and two consecutive three-and-outs -- including one in which [Taysom Hill](https://www.nfl.com/players/taysom-hill/)dropped a great third-down pass from Dalton beyond the sticks -- saved enough time for Brady to mount an unlikely comeback. New Orleans simply should not have lost this game for a number of reasons.

He has been on the practice squad for the entire season. He has averaged 9.4 yards on 50 punt returns, including a 10.6-yard average on 30 returns this season. On Tuesday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers waived second-year wide receiver Jaelon Darden and released rookie tackle Dylan Cook and veteran cornerback Ryan Smith from the practice squad.

He was Tampa Bay’s fourth-round pick in 2016. The 2021 fourth-round pick was having a solid season returning punts — he leads the NFL with 31 punt returns and 330 total punt return yards — but has been no factor in the offense. Yes, that Ryan Smith, the former Buccaneers cornerback and bad kick returner who was signed off the street last month.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Waive Jaelon Darden (Bucs Nation)

In a surprising move, the Buccaneers announced on Tuesday that they have waived punt returner Jaelon Darden among other roster moves as well.

Darden, 23, was the Buccaneers’ fourth round pick in 2021. He was their primary punt returner and was actually the NFL leader in punts and punt return yards. They traded up to grab him in the draft, so certainly a disappointment that he could not stick around.
