The Tampa Bay Buccaneers attempted to clinch the NFC South Division on Sunday, but ran into a New Orleans defense that shut out Tom Brady at home for the first time in his career after 179 home games. The Saints’ defense completely dominated the Bucs, knocking out several big offensive stars with injuries, while the Saints managed three field goals to win 9–0.
The last time Brady was shut out was 15 years ago, with the New England Patriots on Dec. 10, 2006, losing away to the Miami Dolphins 21–0. Brady was sacked five times and threw for 70 yards against the Nick Saban-led Dolphins.
