Chart: A look ahead to Thursday's game against Tampa Bay
- October 21, 2012 - 9:21 PM
TAMPA BAY (2-4)
The Bucs added first-round draft pick Doug Martin at running back and signed wide receiver Vincent Jackson to upgrade their offense this season.
BUCS WEEK 7
New Orleans 35, Tampa Bay 28
The Bucs gave up four TD passes to Drew Brees. The game came down to the final play, but an end-zone catch by Tampa Bay's Mike Williams was negated by a penalty.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Bucs QB Josh Freeman
In his fourth year out of Kansas State, Freeman already has made his mark at the Metrodome. He led the Bucs to a touchdown in the final minute in a 24-20 victory last year.
OUTLOOK
The Vikings defense will be tested more than it was against Arizona, but the short turnaround from Sunday to Thursday games usually favors home teams. Outlook: Horns up.
