Sunday marks the 46th time in history that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints clash. The Saints lead the series 29-16, and have won seven straight contests against the Buccaneers, including four straight at home. Needless to say, this looks to be a classic trap game for the black and gold.
It’s been a long time since the Saints have won a home game. An impressive Week 8 Sunday Night Football win over the Green Bay Packers seems so long ago. As the team looks to avoid the dreaded 0-2 start, there are several players who will need to play a level up during Sunday’s game with Lovie Smith’s squad to bring a victory home for the home team.
