Haskins was 19 of 35 passing for 214 yards and threw TD passes to Guice and tight end Jeremy Sprinkle in his first game since being named starter for the rest of the season. Brees, Thomas lead Saints past Bucs Drew Brees threw for 228 yards and three touchdowns to lead the New Orleans Saints to a 34-17 victory over the host Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
