Tom Brady, Buccaneers Beat Drew Brees, Saints to Advance to NFC Championship

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers set their sights on a Super Bowl title from the moment they signed . Now, they're one game closer to achieving that aim after beating the New Orleans Saints 30-20 in the NFC divisional round.

Tampa Bay is competing in the conference championship for the fourth time in franchise history.

The Saints got the better of the Bucs in both of their regular-season meetings but couldn't make it three in a row.

For obvious reasons, this was billed as a battle between two legendary quarterbacks, Brady and Drew Brees. Neither quarterback excelled, and Brees in particular struggled.
