The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are streaking, and the New Orleans Saints are skidding.

So what else would you expect, after the Saints fell 16-11 in Tampa Bay?

If Saints quarterback Drew Brees and his offense are playing well, New Orleans stands a chance. But the Bucs defense held Brees and Co. in check over four quarters of action, forcing three interceptions in the process.

Credit to New Orleans’ defense for hanging in there though. This unit has played much worse this season.
