The Saints are headed back to Florida, and it's been a pleasant experience the last few times they've been there.
The Saints beat the Bucs in Tampa 38-3 last season. They opened up this season with a 38-3 victory over the Packers in Jacksonville. They'll have to overcome a fresh set of challenges to land another impressive win, a list that includes head coach Sean Payton unable to join the team due to a positive COVID test.

THE HIGHLIGHTS
BATTERING BRADY
The Saints beat up Tom Brady early and often in the first half, and this sack by Marcus Davenport clinched a shutout over the first two quarters.
━━━━
CAM FEELIN' 100
It was a big moment in the game, and a big moment for Cam: career sack No. 100. The sack also knocked the Bucs back, and Bucs kicker Bradley Pinion swung the kick wide right.
━━━━
AGAIN? YES.
You don't see a lot of backshoulder post routes ... but if it works it works, right? Marquez Callaway's 88 yards has already set a new career high, and there's still a long way to go.
━━━━
WELCOME BACK, CAM.
The Saints defensive anchor saw his consecutive game streak come to an end last week due to COVID. He's back for this one, and he looks hungry.
━━━━
TAYSOM WITH THE ... DEEP BALL?
All we've heard about is how Taysom Hill will have to sling it for the Saints to upset the Bucs. Well ... that's what we got on a critical third down to Marquez Callaway.
