The Buccaneers and Saints put the finishing touches on Week 13 in the NFL as these two NFC South rivals square off on “Monday Night Football” at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
This is the second and final matchup between these division rivals this season, and this prime-time matchup could have serious implications for the NFC’s overall playoff picture. Tampa Bay tops the division at 5-6 despite both falling under .500, but the Saints (4-8) and Atlanta Falcons (5-8) are still playing for the NFC South crown. A win Monday would give Tampa Bay some much-needed breathing room before the regular season finale.
New Orleans has been a thorn in Brady’s side since arriving in Tampa Bay, however, and he is 2-4 against the Saints since joining the Bucks. Andy Dalton has historically struggled under the prime-time lights (6-20 in his career), so something has to give.
