New Orleans Saints Vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Arena: Raymond James Stadium
Time: 22 November, 2009 at 1:00 PM
League: NFL – United States of America
The Bucs have won three of the past four, but trail the overall series, 20-.
The pressure of having a perfect record seems to have worn on the Saints over the past few weeks. They needed second-half comebacks to beat the Dolphins and Panthers, and nearly got taken down by the struggling Rams last week. Tampa Bay is playing at a high enough level right now that if the Saints aren’t sharp, they could get upset.
Since the rookie quarterback Freeman became a starter in Week 9, the Bucs have played far better. He has four touchdowns in his two starts and his teammates seem to have responded to his leadership. It will be tough for him this week, though, against a Saints defense that has preyed on young quarterbacks in .
Matt Bryant’s 37-yard field goal with 1:55 remaining put the Bucs ahead for good as they secured a 23-20 victory over the Saints on Nov. 30, 20. We will post information about results of this match, as soon as posible.
