New Orleans Saints vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Storylines

The New Orleans Saints are one of the strongest teams in the NFL, yet no one seems to talk about them as a legit candidate to win the Super Bowl. That's a blatant mistake if you consider they didn't even need Drew Brees to win multiple games.

Sean Payton's defense is just elite. Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas are unstoppable when healthy, and the team overall is just too well-coached. This could be Brees' final game, so they will be extra motivated to keep him around for at least another week.

 

Tom Brady has been far from his usual self when facing the Saints this season. They spoiled his debut with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1 and then humiliated him with a 38-3 defeat at the Superdome.

Now, the 6-time Super Bowl champion will look to prove why he's one of the best to ever do it  by trying to avoid a third straight defeat this season vs their divisional rival, which will be easier said than done.
