The Buccaneers head to New Orleans for an NFC South match-up.
FOLLOWGoing into the 2023 season, the NFC South was home to four teams with some of the worst odds of winning the Super Bowl. And while none of them climbed into the top 10, three of the four teams have two wins heading into Week 4.If not for an injury to starting quarterback Derek Carr, the Saints might have a perfect record. New Orleans held a 17-0 lead in the third quarter when Carr was sacked and suffered an injury.
Carr hasn't practiced Wednesday or Thursday this week, and signs point to Winston taking his place again this Sunday. The Saints will likely focus their offense on star running back Alvin Kamara who returns from suspension this week. For their part, the Bucs are hoping for a rebound performance from their signal caller Baker Mayfield. After two wins and mistake-free football, Mayfield threw his first interception of the season and was held to fewer than 150 yards passing by the stifling Eagles defense.
