NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints looked like the hottest team in the NFL at the beginning of the season, but now they are looking for their first win in three weeks. That’s easier said than done with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coming in town today for an NFC South showdown at 1 p.m. Eastern on FOX.
Several streaming services will broadcast the game live and you can watch on Fubo (free trial and $20 off your first month), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and Sling (promotional offers).
To make matters worse for New Orleans, Derek Carr went down with an oblique injury against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football and is expected to miss multiple weeks. Spencer Rattler is expected to step in for the start on Sunday.
The Buccaneers, meanwhile, have been in New Orleans since Tuesday. The team left early to avoid any complications with trying to navigate around Hurricane Milton.
