It took one half for Anthony Nelson to earn a game ball vs. Saints

With Haason Reddick out against the Saints due to injury, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers needed someone to step up in a big way at the EDGE position.

Anthony Nelson answered the call, and played the best half of football of his professional career. He wasted no time making an impact, forcing a fumble on the opening drive of the game which was ultimately recovered by Lavonte David.

On the next drive, Nelson got to Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler for a sack on 2nd-and-8 to set up a 3rd-and-long.

Nelson made another huge play on the next drive, making it three splash plays in as many drives.
