How Do the Buccaneers Keep Up With the Saints?
Famous Jameis For the Win
The New Orleans Saints have scored 70-points more than our beloved Buccaneers this season; averaging nearly a touchdown more per week so far.
In order for Tampa Bay to keep pace and beat this division rival they need to win the turnover battle, and it all starts with Jameis Winston.
In 12 games this year the Saints have intercepted the opposing quarterback in six games. They won each of those but one, with the only loss coming against the Denver Broncos in Week 10, and we all know just how they lost that one.
Conversely, their defense has failed to secure an interception in six match-ups, and you guessed it, they’ve lost every one of them.
Bottom line, if you give the Saints extra possessions they’ll kill you with them more than 90% of the time, but if teams protect the ball they seem to always find a way to get the win.
Winston didn’t throw a single interception in his rookie campaign against this team, and if he keeps his passes out of the hands of guys like Sterling Moore then they should find themselves in position to win their fifth straight.
