The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints are currently entrenched in quite the NFC South battle as these two divisional rivals continue to go back and forth late into the evening on Sunday. With Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady duking it out with Saints quarterback Drew Brees in the first ever postseason matchup between these two NFC South foes, the final game of the 2020-21 divisional round is knotted at 20 with only the fourth quarter remaining.

However, the Buccaneers were most recently trailing 20-13 with the aforementioned Brady helping to turn things around in a hurry as the future Pro Football Hall of Fame signal caller managed to find running back Leonard Fournette for the touchdown to tie the game.

Leading to the red zone pitch and catch from Brady to Fournette, the Buccaneers defense initially forced the Saints to turn the football over while trailing by seven points late in the third quarter. Buccaneers rookie defensive back Antoine Winfield Jr. forced Saints tight end Jared Cook to fumble the football with Tampa Bay pass rusher Devin White quickly making the recovery.
