Saints vs. Buccaneers live score, updates, highlights from NFL ‘Monday Night Football’ game

Total times read this article : 12

Tom Brady and the Buccaneers will be looking to solidify their position atop the NFC South as they host the Saints on “Monday Night Football.”

Tampa Bay (5-6) has a two-game cushion in the division despite a brutal 23-17 loss in overtime to the Browns last week. Head coach Todd Bowles made several questionable game management decisions — including not calling a timeout during a potential game-winning drive — as the team’s two-game winning streak came to a demoralizing end.

“We’re not scoring enough points,” Brady said after the loss. “Every play is an individual win or loss, and we’re losing too many. There were too many plays where we were not on the right page, and we’ve got to correct that.”

He’ll have a chance to help get his team back on track against a struggling Saints defense.

New Orleans (4-8) has had a rough season, but it somehow remains in the hunt for a playoff spot despite losing three of its last four games. 

Last time out, the Saints were blanked in an ugly 13-0 loss to the 49ers. It was the first time they had been shut out since 2001, snapping the longest active scoring streak in the NFL. Andy Dalton and the offense will need to be much, much better to have any chance of keeping up with Brady.
