Pack it in. Close it up. It’s a wrap. The slim postseason hopes the Buccaneers had kept alive with their back-to-back wins evaporated when the offense imploded in the second half, allowing the Saints to overcome a 14-3 halftime deficit in route to a 28-14 win, clinching the NFC South title.
The fact of the matter is, the Saints made halftime adjustments and the Bucs did not. The offense had less than 100 yards in the second half and couldn’t convert any points off of a Carl Nassib strip of Drew Brees on the opening drive of the third quarter.
