Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20 New Orleans Saints 10 Sunday 18 September 2022 at Caesar’s Superdome
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen
The Bucs ended their recent regular season hoodoo in New Orleans with a spicy victory that saw most of the scoring done in the final eight minutes. Tom Brady’s scoring pass to Breshad Perriman broke a 3-3 tie and Mike Edwards’ pick six sealed the win as Jameis Winston threw three interceptions. Mike Evans and Saints CB Marshon Lattimore were ejected in a third quarter fight as tempers escalated but the Bucs went to 2-0 on a pair of road victories for the first time ever.
