Drew Brees Pick-6 Gives Tampa Bay Stunning 24-13 Lead in New Orleans
By Jason McIntyre
Well, nobody saw this coming: New Orleans, a team many thought could play in the Super Bowl this season, just fell behind 24-13 to the Tampa Bay Bucs at home after this embarrassingly-bad pick-six by Drew Brees.
Jimmy Graham has already been knocked out of the game, and now Brees is simply trying to do too much. It’s his second interception of the game, and both led to Tampa Bay touchdowns. New Orleans actually led 13-0 but have let the Bucs peel off 24 straight. Danny Lansanah, who previously played for the Jets – well, he couldn’t get on the field – raced to the end zone easily after the interception, and the stadium erupted in boos.
The Saints, at 1-3, have a bye next week, and then travel to Detroit and Green Bay, so it’s not a stretch to say that with a loss today, they could be looking at 1-6.
