Half-Time Report: Tampa Bay Buccaneers in control against New Orleans Saints

By , Reporter
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers open up a 20-7 lead against the New Orleans Saints as they try to avoid finishing the NFL season with the worst record in the league.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have opened up a 20-7 lead over the New Orleans Saints in the first half in their final game of the 2014 NFL season this evening.

Needing to win to avoid finishing the season with the worst record in the league, the Buccaneers took the lead when Patrick Murray split the uprights with a field goal.

The Tampa Bay defense held firm as Drew Brees tried to get the Saints into a points-scoring position, keeping their opponents off the board in the first quarter.

The home side extended their lead early in the second when Josh McCown went deep down field to Mike Evans, giving the rookie wide receiver his 12th touchdown of the season.

Khiry Robinson got the Saints off the mark in the second quarter, but Charles Sims hit back before the end of the half for the hosts, sprinting down the sideline for their second touchdown of the game.
