What a night it was for Sean Payton’s New Orleans Saints outfit on Sunday. The reigning NFC South Champions made their way to a convincing 3-38 win over rivals Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Raymond James Stadium in Week 9.

In doing so, Drew Brees and his band of speedsters pulled off the double over Tom Brady and the Buccaneers between a gap of 8 weeks.

Veteran NFL quarterback Drew Brees was the standout performer for the Saints last night, aside from their outstanding defense, of course. The 41-year-old went 26 of 32, throwing for 222 yards with 4 passing touchdowns to his name.

The Saints definitely seemed more confident with Thomas on their roster. With RB Alvin Kamara also in fine form and the New Orleans defense impressing on Sunday, coach Payton will be eager to silence the naysayers over the next few weeks.
