Tampa Bay Buccaneers 51 New Orleans Saints 27 Sunday 14 October 2024 at Caesars Superdome
NFC SOUTH STANDINGS Tampa Bay Buccaneers 4-2 Atlanta Falcons 4-2 New Orleans Saints 2-4 Carolina Panthers 1-5
FOX COMMENTARY CREW Adam Amin and Greg Olsen
Total domination outside of the second quarter when the foot slipped off the gas pedal. The Bucs set a franchise record for yards gained and went over the half-century mark for the second time in their history. The run game gained nearly 300 yards and four unanswered touchdowns in the second half gave the Bucs a win in the Bayou once more. This came on the back of Hurricane Miton and the team being displaced leading up to the game.
