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 that the discrepancy in Davenport's playing time was based on the packages the defensive front was using, one of which being how the Saints used three down linemen on several occasions since the Buccaneers abandoned their run game.
