Saints vs Buccaneers Game Info

New Orleans Saints (5-2, 2-1 Away) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-2, 3-0 Home)
Date: Sunday, Nov. 8, 2020
Time: 8:20 p.m. EST
Venue: Raymond James Stadium – Tampa, FL
Coverage: NBC

There are plenty of storylines to watch in this game. First, the duel between Drew Brees and Tom Brady. Last week, Brees took the touchdown record away from Brady, only for the Buccaneers quarterback to get the lead again later. It will surely be talked about by the commentators more than once tonight, and both quarterbacks get a boost in their receiving corps as well.

Brees returns not only Emmanuel Sanders to the lineup, but he get to pass to Michael Thomas for the first time since Week 1, when the Saints between the Buccaneers at home. Brady gets to more notable boost in this game. Not only does he surprisingly get Chris Godwin back in the lineup, but it will be Antonio Browns’ first game for Tampa Bay, and his second game with Brady. Notable for Brown is that the Saints were the first team to give him a workout, though they passed on him. Look for Brown to show New Orleans what they missed out on.

Both defenses in this game are also solid. Both units are top three in run defense, in terms of yards allowed per rush. This further points to an air battle between the two veteran passers. The one that has the cleanest pocket most of the night is likely to emerge as the victor.
