TAMPA, Fla. — The snap counts for several New Orleans Saints went against the grain against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Starting defensive end Marcus Davenport had limited usage on Sunday, totaling just 23 snaps for 34% of New Orleans' defensive plays. Both of those marks tied his career lows. He didn't register a single tackle against the Buccaneers, something he's only done four times in his two years as a Saint.

Saints coach Sean Payton said on Monday...

Bruce Arians can’t criticize officiating, but his wife can

Nearly every coach has had a reason to criticize officiating at some point this year. The league doesn’t like it. And one coach has found a loophole.

Via JoeBucsFan.com, the wife of Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians criticized NFL officiating on Sunday. But not as a result of a call or non-call in Tampa Bay’s loss to the Saints.

Christine Arians reacted to the non-call of pass interference in the Texans-Ravens game, a blatant instance of DPI that wasn’t overturned via...

Confident P.J. Williams plays big for the Saints, thanks to a plan to frustrate Mike Evans

The last time P.J. Williams was pressed into duty as a starting cornerback on the outside didn’t go so well.

Looking for an upgrade to an ineffective Ken Crawley, the New Orleans Saints plugged Williams into their starting lineup opposite Marshon Lattimore against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3 last season. Lattimore drew Falcons star Julio Jones, leaving Williams against then-rookie Calvin Ridley.

The results were disastrous. Ridley roasted Williams, catching five...

The New Orleans Saints bounced back from a surprising loss last week in a big way, defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road 34-17. New Orleans scored on their opening drive for only the second time this season, going ahead 3-0 on a Wil Lutz field goal. Lutz doubled their advantage to 6-0 with a 26-Yd. kick after the defense forced a quick three and out and a Saints drive stalled in the red zone. The first of four interceptions on the day on Tampa's next drive...

TAMPA, Fla. — New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is having a hugely productive season. Through 10 games, Thomas has 94 receptions for 1,141 yards receiving.

And the season is far from over.

Thomas has firmly been on record watch for a while now as he's chasing Marvin Harrison's league record for receptions in a single season.

In 2002, the Indianapolis Colts wide receiver amassed a whopping 143 receptions, blowing Herman Moore's former record of 123...

Saints by the Numbers: Four (plus a score) interceptions

Four interceptions. One of them returned for a touchdown.

For the first time in 33 years, the Saints defense posted that stat line in Sunday’s 34-17 victory at Tampa Bay.

The last time the Saints had at least four picks, one of them a “pick-six” – Sept. 14, 1986, against the Green Bay Packers in the Superdome. On that day, James Haynes had an interception return for a touchdown and the New Orleans defense came away with seven interceptions.

Sunday marked the first...

3 Ups and 1 Down from yesterday’s win over the Bucs

That’s how a good team bounces back.

It was still a roller coast of a game, though, with plenty of “Ups” and “Downs” along the way, though. Here are a few that stood out:

Up: the replacements

The Saints are a good team, but it would not have shocked anyone if they lost against a talented Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense after getting manhandled last week by the Atlanta Falcons. They were down their best cornerback and one of the anchors of the defense, a starting...

Barnwell makes sense of the NFC playoff race: 8 teams, 6 spots, 1 muddled mess

The NFC playoff picture is a beautifully muddled mess. Sunday saw the 49ers and Vikings hold serve in their divisional races by pulling out comeback victories, leaving three of the NFC's four divisions within one game at the top. The Saints reaffirmed their stranglehold on the South by all but eliminating the Buccaneers from playoff contention, then got help from the archrival Falcons when the suddenly dominant Atlanta defense stomped Kyle Allen and the Panthers.

This is a column about overreactions, as any regular Monday reader knows, but they don't always come easily. Sometimes, you're sitting in your hotel room on a Sunday night, watching a couple of teams that combined to win 25 games last season but now can't find the end zone, and you have to try hard not to underreact.

Seriously, folks. I'm old enough to remember when Matt Nagy and Sean McVay were young offensive geniuses. Now they're facing off in front of the whole...

The NFC playoff picture wasn’t upended when the 49ers, Saints and Cowboys lost games in Week 10, but it did open the door for bigger changes if the teams couldn’t get back on track.

Sunday’s games are all in the books and everyone got back on track. All six teams that opened the weekend in playoff position end it in the same spots they occupied at this time last week. The status quo actually extended all the way down the pecking order as the only change is that the...
