The New Orleans Saints were one of three teams the Buccaneers put away in the playoffs on their way to what became a Super Bowl LV win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Tampa Bay’s defense smothered the New Orleans offense, forcing four turnovers and catapulting them to a 30-20 win inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
During the regular season, the Saints had the Buccaneers number beating them in both games during 2020. However, as the Bucs progressed throughout the latter part of the season, their play on the field got progressively better.
