Buccaneers kicker Kyle Brindza nailed 4 of 5 field goal attempts and also successfully converted both point-after attempts in Sunday's 26-19 victory over the Saints.
Brindza drilled a first quarter 55-yard attempt for his first field goal as a pro, and then put a key 30-yarder through the uprights in the fourth quarter to extend the Bucs' lead to a touchdown. The rookie kicker also secured touchbacks on six of seven kickoffs, making him a valuable weapon in nullifying the opposing return game. The last-minute preseason decision to retain Brindza certainly appears to be paying off for the Bucs early in the season.
