NEW ORLEANS — Baker Mayfield overcame three turnovers with 325 yards and four touchdowns passing, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the New Orleans Saints 51-27 in what they hoped would be a morale boost to their many fans who endured Hurricane Milton. The result blemished rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler's first NFL start for New Orleans, which has lost four straight after opening the season with a pair of lopsided victories. The Bucs escaped Milton's path by leaving Tampa Bay on Tuesday and practiced in New Orleans all week. They responded by putting up big numbers in the Superdome. Tampa Bay rushed for 277 yards and finished with 594 yards. Rattler passed for 243 yards and a TD but was intercepted twice.
