Green Bay, Wis. – No detective skills were necessary Monday night to decipher which team at Lambeau Field was charging toward the playoffs and which officially was eliminated from playoff contention Sunday.

The New Orleans Saints weren't much of a match for the Packers in a 34-0 loss on national television that dropped New Orleans to 5-10 overall, and 3-3 under interim head coach Darren Rizzi. With two remaining regular-season games, the Saints turn their attention to the Raiders game that'll be played Sunday in the Caesars Superdome, then to the ending game on the road against Tampa Bay.

Monday night didn't offer many superlatives to carry into the coming weekend.

OFFENSE: New Orleans was limited to 14 plays in the first half against Washington last Sunday; it totaled 23 plays and 81 yards in the first half against Green Bay, with a long gain of 21 yards (a completion from Spencer Rattler to Foster Moreau). A couple of false start penalties in the first two quarters helped spike drives that exhibited a bit of pep but for the most part, New Orleans couldn't mount a sustained rushing attack and had difficulty protecting Rattler, who was making his fourth NFL start. Too much discombobulation – time outs being used because of substitution issues – to be this late in the season. Rattler lost a fumble on a sack, took another sack that pushed New Orleans out of field-goal range and threw an interception in the second half....

Saints vs. Buccaneers: Who has the all-time series lead?

  • News source: Darrion Gray

The New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers close out the regular season. The Buccaneers are playing for a chance to secure their fourth consecutive NFC South championship.

That would tie them with the Saints for the longest streak in division history. They can accomplish that feat with a victory over the Saints in Week 18.

The momentum in this series has swung towards Tampa Bay. New Orleans won Sean Payton’s last seven games versus the Buccaneers, but Dennis Allen lost four of his five attempts. Darren Rizzi gets his first opportunity to take down the Buccaneers. He opened his interim coaching tenure with a divisional victory, and he’s looking to close it with one as well.

A Rizzi victory would keep the Saints from being swept by the Buccaneers for the second time in four years.

The Saints hold a sizable lead in the head to head matchup all-time, 40-26, and recent losses haven’t negated that. Let’s take a look at the highlights from recent showdowns between the Saints and Buccaneers:

The divisional showdown is being aired locally in much of South Florida and Louisiana, and it’s the FOX early game on the entire West Coast and much of the Northeast, per 506 Sports.

Bucs QB 'looking forward' to Mike Evans vs. Saints without Marshon Lattimore

Baker Mayfield didn’t mention the New Orleans Saints or Marshon Lattimore directly, but he’s obviously circled the calendar for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ regular season finale — and what it could mean for Mike Evans. If Evans totals at least 85 yards against the Saints on Sunday, he’ll extend his streak of seasons with 1,000 or more receiving yards to all 11 years he’s been in the NFL.

“Obviously Mike’s a huge part of this offense and the record is pretty important for us to get,” Mayfield told reporters after Week 17’s win over the Carolina Panthers. Correcting himself, he continued...
