Drew Brees may have cost the New Orleans Saints badly with three interceptions thrown to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense, but a lack of contributions from Michael Thomas hurt their offense throughout Sunday’s playoff loss.
Thomas, who was slowed all season with a high-ankle sprain and related issues after signing a $100 million contract extension last season, ended the Buccaneers game without a single catch. He was targeted four times and managed to secure one of those passes on an early would-be touchdown, but failed to land both feet in-bounds before falling out of the end zone.
