It was an embarrassing night for Bruce Arians’ Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They suffered their second loss this year at the hands of the Drew Brees-led New Orleans Saints.

Talented wide receiver Michael Thomas returned to the Saints starting lineup on Sunday as Antonio Brown made his Tampa Bay debut.

The Saints displaced Tom Brady and Co. from the summit of the NFC South Division table after last night’s emphatic 3-38 win at the Raymond James Stadium. New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees went 26 of 32 throwing for 222 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Drew Brees painted a ‘joyous’ figure in the post-match press meet after Sunday’s heroics at the Raymond James Stadium. The veteran NFL quarterback heaped praise on his teammates after the 3-38 win over Tom Brady and the Buccaneers.

He said, “Obviously, we knew this was a big game. Divisional opponent. Tampa’s playing extremely well. Listen, it was the next game for us, it was the next challenge for us.

“We’re just trying to get better every week. Obviously, we’ve been a little short-handed over the last few weeks.

“Had to have a lot of young guys and play and they played well. We found ways to win. Tonight it was good to get everybody back, get ’em back in the mix.

“I think we slowly did that. We wanted to spread the ball around, we wanted to play complementary football. Can’t say enough about our defense, defense played phenomenal.

“And then offensively we were able to possess the ball, run the ball well, throw the ball well and, just, it was a great night of execution all the way around,” Brees said via NFL Network.

Sean Payton’s boys will take on the struggling San Francisco 49ers next weekend. A win in Week 10 will ensure that the Saints remain at the top of the NFC South Division table above the Buccaneers.

New Orleans fans will hope that the return of Michael Thomas will help them retain their divisional title.
