Saints dominate the Bucs, 31-14



BY DICK SCANLON/LAKELAND LEDGER

TAMPA - The Bucs were in the game only one time Sunday, and it was at halftime.

They were dominated for 55 minutes by the New Orleans Saints, putting their only successful offense together in the final five minutes of the first half to trim a 17-0 Saints lead down to 17-14.

But the same problems that plagued them early in the game - no pass rush, poor pass coverage, no running game - reappeared in the second half and the Saints (6-2) pulled away to a 31-14 victory before 65,561 at Raymond James Stadium.
