Total domination from start to finish.

Anyone recall Bruce Arians saying that Trey Hendrickson was the easiest player on the line to block?? Trey had 3 consecutive sacks tonight.

He's a low key bully.

Great Saints win (swept the bucs) against a divisional opponent.

Keep grinding.

Yeah I was hoping Trey had that in the back of his mind.

Its a shame the first one didn't count but then to sack him twice directly after was a great sight.

Underrated and forever forgotten about to me is David Onyemata. There's a reason he was extended, the guy is super low on the radar for most but is a force every week and a key reason why teams don't rush well on us.

And only the Chiefs with a winning record in the remaining 8 games.

That's what gets us into trouble - playing down to teams...

You can throw out the records when we play the ATL...

But lets be honest here.

The Bucs don't want to see (playoffs) the Saints no more this season.

May be wrong, but isn't there a stat floating out there that teams that have swept division opponents during the regular season choke against them in the playoffs?

Know it happen to the Saints where we lost to the ATL in playoffs...

In 2017 some pundits were claiming this when we were to face Carolina in the Wild Card round after sweeping them during the regular season. We beat them 31-26 to make it three for three.

The only time we have faced the Falcons in the playoffs was 1991. We split during the regular season and they beat us in the Wild Card. We also faced the Rams in 2000 Wild Card after splitting with them in the regular season. That was our first playoff win.
