On Sunday, the 7-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the 5-7 New Orleans Saints at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. It will be the 49th meeting between the Bucs and the Saints and the first of two matchups between them in the span of three weeks (more on that series history). The Buccaneers will be looking to extend a four-game winning streak as they charge into the playoff race.
To accomplish that goal, the Buccaneers will have to do their best to limit Drew Brees, who once again is piling up enormous numbers. On offense, Tampa Bay will have to contend with a trio of playmaking safeties at the back end of the Saints' defense.
