The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-1) prevailed in a dramatic battle against the Seattle Seahawks (3-2), securing a 38-35 victory thanks to 10 unanswered points in the final minute and 15 seconds of regulation.
The game’s frenetic finish began after a Sam Darnold touchdown pass to Tory Horton put the Seahawks up 35-28 with just over two minutes to play.
Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield then led a signature late-game rally, executing a two-minute drill that culminated in an 11-yard touchdown pass to Sterling Shepard with 1:15 left, tying the game at 35-all.
The Seahawks were poised for a game-winning drive, but Buccaneers franchise great Lavonte David immediately shifted the momentum.
The linebacker intercepted a Darnold pass well within Seattle territory, setting up the Buccaneers for a game-winning field goal attempt. Kicker Chase McLaughlin sealed the dramatic comeback, booting a 39-yard field goal through the uprights to give Tampa Bay the 38-35 win.
The Buccaneers will return home to Raymond James Stadium in Week 6 to host the San Francisco 49ers, while the Seahawks will travel to Florida to face the Jacksonville Jaguars.
