No team better implemented and executed a gameplan last season to beat Tampa Bay than the New Orleans Saints. In both regular-season games against the Buccaneers in 2020, the Saints won by double digits – 34-23 in the season opener, and 38-3 seven games later.
The Buccaneers got the ultimate revenge with a 30-20 win over the Saints in the divisional playoff round, but New Orleans had the right formula in the two regular-season games.
The Saints (4-2) will attempt to duplicate that potion against Tampa Bay (6-1) on Sunday in the Caesars Superdome. Here are a few elements that will need to be replicated:
1. PRESSURE POINT: The Saints made Tampa Bay's offense uncomfortable last season, especially quarterback Tom Brady. New Orleans sacked Brady six times, and intercepted him five times, in the regular-season victories. And the constant pressure and sticky coverage limited him to 61 percent on his completions (45 of 74), with just two touchdowns. New Orleans will need as much of that as it can create Sunday, because Brady (league-leading totals of 2,275 passing yards and 21 touchdowns, with just three interceptions and nine sacks) has been on a roll this season. Defensive tackle David Onyemata returns from his six-game suspension, and he'll help the Saints' pass rush, which is coming off a five-sack game (two by linebacker Demario Davis) against Seattle. Brady will want to get off passes quickly, but if the secondary can force him to hold the ball a little longer, the rush can affect him because he's not a mobile quarterback.
