Saints , bucs game recap and player of the game.
New Orleans saints
The New Orleans saints travelled to lambeau this past week to face Jordan love in his first home start for the pack. The saints at 2-0 took a big lead and scored 17 unanswered points. However , qb Derek Carr left the game in the 3rd quarter with a shoulder injury. This caused winston and the saints to sputter allowing the packers to GAIN the lead with 18 4th quarter points.
The saints drove into packers territory late and had a manageable field goal go wide right , Saints fall at lambeau 18-17. They sit at 2-1.
Player of the week for NO- Chris Olave , 8 catches for 104.
Tampa bay Buccaneers
The Tampa bay Buccaneers at a surprise 2-0 faced off with the losers of last years Super Bowl , the Philadelphia eagles in a Monday night matchup. Tampa came into this one without a turnover on offence , but sirriani’s eagles are known to force those. Tampa bay turned the ball over twice , missed easy reads , dropped passes and lost in the trenches, leading to a first loss of the year 25-11
However in the words of one bucs fan on Twitter
“ Not a lot of ppl thought the Bucs would be 2-1 after 3 games. The Bucs didn’t play well on offense in the 1st half and the defense got tired. This one’s on the O. The O has to give the defense some help. It didn’t help the Bucs had their top 2 CB’s out. I’m not worried”
And I fully agree , the bucs without carlton Davis and Jamel dean for a majority of this game with a struggling ground game were always looking like they were 2-3 plays away in this one.
Moving on to Sunday in Caesars Super Dome.
The bucs face off against foes the saints in a battle for the lead of the NFC south. Key matchups will be
• Evans Vs Lattimore.
• White VS saints D-line
• vita vea Vs saints O-line
• Baker Vs turnovers
If the bucs win 3 of these matchups , im going for a win.
The saints have won 3 of the last 5 matchups against Tampa but the bucs won when it mattered.
This one really matters , two 2-1 teams facing off in a battle for the lead in the south , im taking the bucs in a 17-10 victory
