Connor Barth missed a field goal. Trailing by a touchdown in the final two minutes, Freeman drove the Buccaneers to the endzone. On the final play of the game, Freeman threw a game-tying touchdown pass to Mike Williams in the back of the endzone as time expired. However, the touchdown did not count because he stepped out of bounds before making the catch.
