The New Orleans Saints (5-7) have lost three of their past four games and will try to keep their slim playoff hopes alive Sunday when they visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Earning a win in Tampa Bay will be much harder than it might've seemed just a few weeks ago. The Buccaneers (7-5) have won four straight games and have held their opponents to an average of 13.3 points during the winning streak.
After posting just 13 points in a loss to the Detroit Lions last week, the Saints will try to find their footing on offense while also trying to show the defensive improvement over much of the past two months isn't a fluke.
