Winner of Saints vs. Buccaneers will advance to challenge Packers in the NFCCG

The Los Angeles Rams’ No. 1-ranked defense turned out to be paper-thin, falling to pieces with standout defensive tackle Aaron Donald limited by his injured ribs. They didn’t challenge Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers much on Saturday afternoon in a 32-18 loss, ensuring that the road to Super Bowl LV runs through Lambeau Field.

That means the winner of Sunday’s matchup between the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers must hit the road next week. Bucs quarterback Tom Brady has some experience playing in the cold from his stint with the New England Patriots, while the Saints are 4-0 in games played in temperatures under 45 degrees Fahrenheit since 2017, per NewOrleans.
