'We're going to the playoffs': Confident Bucs embracing Bowles era on both sides of ball

NEW ORLEANS – Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis III sat back in the visiting locking room Sunday with his arms folded, soaking it all in after a 26-9 victory over the New Orleans Saints that propelled the Bucs to first place in the NFC South heading into their Week 5 bye.

The Bucs (3-1) held the Saints to just three field goals, and as Davis said with a big grin, “It's a new era. It's the Todd Bowles era, so get used to it.”

Bowles’ hard-nosed brand of defense has found an offense equally as gritty and physical.
