Over the past two seasons since the arrival of Tom Brady in Tampa Bay, the Saints and the Buccaneers have become a matchup many look forward to seeing. It’s almost become a rivalry that runs deeper than the division. It’s not just New Orleans vs Tampa Bay, the real story has become the Saints defense vs Tom Brady.
The Saints have gone 4-1 with the Bucs over the past two seasons with the one loss coming in the playoffs. A big reason the Saints have had success against the Bucs have been their ability to pressure Brady with the front four without compromising the secondary.
