How To Watch The Bucs Play New Orleans Saints In Playoffs Sunday
An eighth win on the road in 2020 would put the Buccaneers one step closer to coming home for Super Bowl LV at Raymond James Stadium.
TAMPA, FL — Wednesday was Day 1 of the Buccaneers' practice week in preparation for Sunday's Divisional Playoff showdown with the division rival New Orleans Saints.
That's the team that has beaten Tampa Bay five times in a row – including the Bucs' only two losses by more than three points this year.
The Bucs are going into Sunday's game strong after defeating Washington Saturday 31-23 with quarterback Tom Brady throwing 381 yards.

The Divisional game in New Orleans is most notable for its pairing of Hall of Fame-bound quarterbacks Brady and Drew Brees. Brady and Brees are first and second, respectively, in NFL history in touchdown passes (581 for Brady, 571 for Brees).
Brady's edge in the postseason is much larger because he holds the all-time lead with 75 touchdown passes while Brees is sixth with 34. And has a bit of extra motivation. He's chasing his seventh Super Bowl title while Brees is trying to add a second.
