Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints Week 8 broadcast map — Will you be able to watch on TV?
The Bucs and Saints meet for the first time this season in the Big Easy.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are looking to get back on track after a rough 24-9 loss to the Detroit Lions on Monday night, and they might be in a good spot to do it.
The Bucs head to New Orleans for a late afternoon division showdown with the New Orleans Saints. The Saints enter the matchup at 1-6 after a 26-17 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
For Bucs fans in parts of the Southeast, they’ll be in luck if they hope to catch the game on local TV.
Per 506 Sports, the game will be shown throughout Florida with the exception of the West Palm Beach and Jacksonville regions. It will be shown through all of Louisiana, most of North Georgia, and parts of Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and North Carolina. The game can also be seen locally in the Chicago, Cincinnati, and Baltimore regions.
Kenny Albert and former New Orleans Saints star Jonathan Vilma will be on the call for FOX.
Tampa Bay will have to get its offense back on track on a short week
Tampa Bay’s productive offense ran into a wall against the Lions on Monday Night Football. The Bucs’ ground game has struggled to get going over the last three games with Bucky Irving on the shelf, and that continued in Detroit, where Tampa Bay had just 41 rushing yards on 12 carries. Detroit’s pass rush generated an incredible 40 pressures in the game as well, per Pro Football Focus.
For all the Saints’ shortcomings, they’ve help up pretty well against the run, so Tampa Bay’s recent woes on the ground may still be in play. Offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard may have to get creative with Mike Evans out for the next 6-8 weeks and Chris Godwin still on the mend with a fibula injury. An uptick in opportunities in the pass game for Cade Otton, Tez Johnson, Sterling Shepard, and Rachaad White should be forthcoming.
The Bucs and Saints get underway at 4:05 pm ET inside the Superdome in New Orleans.
