Drew Brees played what could have been his last game NFL, with the New Orleans Saints fall home on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Division Round. although Brees and Tom Brady monopolized in the spotlight, the game was really not defined by the high level of the New Orleans, but unfortunately deliveries are off the ball.
Key moment
Interception of Devin White in the fourth period, which was triggered by Brady with a short touchdown run, he finally tapped the balance for the visitors. although Brees later threw another interception, his third of the game, at which point they were already emotionally defeated Saints, without much hope of turning the scoreboard around. No team made more expensive mistakes in the Ronda Division what New Orleans, and that costs dearly.
Main role
White recovered a fumble from it Jared Cook in the first half, and sealed the match with an interception in the second. In addition, he was instrumental in the defensive effort of the Bucs, press charges in the middle and be active with 11 tackles, 10 solo, to lead Tampa Bay. The linebacker is only in his sophomore year, so it’s fair to assume that the best is yet to come, for him.
Main statistic
Zero. Brady put two balls in the hands of the defenders of the Saints -OK, the second was complicated-, but New Orleans he couldn’t keep any of those balls. In addition, there was a fumble that he himself Brady He recovered. Without stems in favor, the Saints they could not deliver that blow that gave them a good advantage in the position of the field to be able to add to the advantage they had over Tampa Bay, or later, to recover from the disadvantage.
What’s next
The sports world hopes that the rumor will be made official Brees played their last game, in what will be an important transition season for the Saints. You have yet to decide if the quarterback of the future is already on the squad, or look elsewhere. Although it probably is Taysom Hill getting a real chance is far from a certainty.
At your side, Tampa Bay you need to prepare thermal clothing for the trip to the tundra, where they get the Green Bay Packers. In the case of beating the favorites Packers, directed by Aaron Rodgers, Tampa Bay would become the first team to complete the Super Bowl in its own stadium, plus Brady he would reach that stage for the unprecedented tenth time in his career. There is a lot of history to be written here.
