Scouting Report: New Orleans Saints

On Sunday, the 2-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the 5-2 New Orleans Saints at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. It will be the 51st meeting between the Bucs and the Saints and the first intra-division road game of the year for Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers are trying to end a four-game losing streak and pull a game closer in the division race to the first-place Saints.

To accomplish that goal, the Buccaneers will have to contend with a pair of prolific running backs who are both running and catching passes with abandon. Tampa Bay's offense will need to limit edge rusher Cameron Jordan and keep the ball away from a Saints' defense that has picked off nine passes in seven games.
