The Tampa Bay Buccaneers opened the 2018 season by stunning the New Orleans Saints on the road in the Superdome. The Bucs’ offense racked up 529 yards at 8.5 yards per play against last year’s eighth-best defense (fifth vs. the pass). They were led by grizzled veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick, who threw for 417 yards and an ungodly 14.9 yards per attempt, completing 21 of 28 attempts.
It was glorious. It was truly a special game, and should be remembered for a long time by Buccaneer fans, because it was about as close to perfection as football can get.
