The Saints season is over, and it's probably a really good thing that it is. They predictably faltered after capturing a surprising halftime lead, losing 27-19 to the Bucs and giving the NFC South for the fourth straight year.

The Buccaneers trailed the Saints 16-6, as they faced third-and-3 from their 42-yard line. Mayfield dropped back, couldn't find anyone open and decided to scramble. He ran for 10 yards then decided to slide. Unfortunately, his slide came a bit late and Saints safety Will Harris hit him really hard.

The NFL will wrap up the 2024-25 regular season on Sunday and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can punch their playoff ticket when they host the New Orleans Saints. The game kicks off at 1 p.m. ET. Tampa Bay won the first game between these two, going on the road to thump New Orleans 51-27 in Week 6.
