Hey, Saints fans! Welcome back to the Gifs from the Game series where we look at notable and interesting clips from Saints games. This week, the Saints took on Famous Jameis and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Dome.
For all of the errors made on either side of the ball (and there were many), the defense played pretty awesomely. Brees unfortunately put up some real stinkers after taking that shoulder shot in the 2nd quarter. Between kicker Zach Hocker missing a PAT and a FG, and an untimely and frankly confusing fumble from Mark Ingram, the Saints appeared determined to squander their chance at ending a dreadful 6 game home losing streak.
In this installation, we have a bunch of Snead, Browner diving or something odd at his receiver, Strief getting bucked onto his tuckus, Kikaha continuing to be a stripper (of footballs, that is), Anthony looking solid, Brees throwing some end over end balls, Kenny Phillips laying the wood and much, much more.
As always, let the page load and gifs might need a couple repeats to get up to speed. Enjoy!
