Tom Brady Dominant as Buccaneers Defeat Derek Carr, Raiders to Improve to 5-2

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers climbed back into first place in the NFC South with a 45-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.

The New Orleans Saints beat the Carolina Panthers 27-24 earlier in the day to improve to 4-2 and thus claim first place via the head-to-head tiebreaker with the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay now has a half-game lead on New Orleans.

This matchup was originally slated for the Sunday night prime-time slot but got moved up by four hours because of COVID-19-related concerns. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the Raiders and Saints didn't have any new positive tests, which meant the action would go on as scheduled.
