The Falcons saved their season.

For now.

Backup quarterback Chris Redman threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Roddy White with 23 seconds remaining Sunday, and Atlanta pulled out a 20-17 victory over the woeful Tampa Bay Buccaneers after offensive stars Matt Ryan and Michael Turner went down with injuries.

"We couldn't afford to lose this one," White said. "It's a good thing Chris came in there and did what he had to do to win this game."
