Saints vs. Buccaneers score: Live updates, game stats, highlights for NFC South

The New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in the midst of a rock fight at Caesars Superdome. While both offenses feature some the NFL’s more dangerous weapons, it’s the defense for both clubs that has stollen the show heading into halftime. New Orleans managed to shut out the Bucs in the first half and went into the break with a field goal lead. Being stout on third down has been one of the reasons for the Saints success thus far, holding Tampa Bay to just three third-down conversion on seven tries. 

Will the Saints hold onto their slim lead and move to 5-0 against the Bucs in the regular-season under Tom Brady or will Tampa Bay rally in the second half? We’re about to find out.
