Buccaneers Aim for Second Straight Season Sweep of the Saints
Tampa Bay aims to capitalize on key injuries to New Orleans while seeking a second straight season sweep in their divisional rivalry, holding a 7-5 record.
- This Sunday, New Orleans Saints visit Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 1 p.m. EST on CBS; the Saints lead the series 40-27, but the Bucs won 23-3 on Oct. 26, 2025.
- Hampered by injuries, the Saints didn’t practice RB Alvin Kamara, WR Chris Olave, T Taliese Fuaga and S Justin Reid Wednesday, and have lost two in a row after scoring under 20 points seven straight times.
- After missing time, Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving produced 81 scrimmage yards and a 13-yard touchdown last week, and he has 80 rushing yards and a TD in two straight games against the Saints secondary, ranked fourth worst in the NFL.
- Key matchup pits the Saints defensive line against Tampa Bay's interior offensive line, as Ben Bredeson, Graham Barton and Dan Feeney must open holes against Cameron Jordan, Davon Godchaux and Bryan Bresee for the Bucs to control the run game.
- Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield has a 95.1 passer rating with 1,423 yards, 12 touchdowns and 7 interceptions in six games versus New Orleans, while All‑Pro LT Tristan Wirfs caught a 2-yard touchdown last week.
