The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are coming off their worst performance of the season, losing to the Detroit Lions 24-9 in Week 7. It was only the second loss of the year for the Bucs, so they still sit atop the NFC South. In Week 8, Tampa Bay will look to get back on track as they take on the worst team in the division: the New Orleans Saints.
New Orleans is 1-6, but the Buccaneers aren’t overlooking the divisional opponent. That was evident in comments from Baker Mayfield on Wednesday, where he made it clear this isn’t just another game.
