Through eight games of the 2020 NFL season, the Buccaneers are 6-2. That ties the best eight-game start in team history, done twice before (1979 and 2002). But more than that, the 6-2 record has Tampa Bay leading the NFC South by one-half game.
Sunday night is a massive game for the Bucs, one of their biggest in years. They’ll host the division rival Saints, the team that trails them by just one-half game, sitting at 5-2 on the year. Of course, New Orleans drew first blood in the season series back in Week 1, winning 34-23 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
