Big Dill here, and the Bucs just walked into the Caesars Superdome and air‑locked the Saints, 23–3. Defense set the tone, special teams set the distance, and the offense stayed clean enough to cash it in. Oh, and it came days after Baker Mayfield stirred the pot saying he “do[es] not like” the Saints — the kind of rivalry spice that fits this one like hot sauce. (nfl.com)

Early drama? Tampa got stuffed on four straight snaps at the 1, only for Anthony Nelson to jump a quick game on the very next series and house a pick‑six from Rattler. That 7‑point swing cracked the dome and put the Bucs in command at the half, 7–3, before the defense tightened the vise the rest of the night. Final ledger at the Big Easy: Tampa 23, New Orleans 3.

After the break, Sean Tucker burrowed in from a yard out, and Chase McLaughlin went full flamethrower — bombs from 55, 52, and 54 to ice it. Mayfield played point guard (15/24, 152 yards) while new‑look targets handled the dirty work — Tez Johnson (5 for 43) and Cade Otton (4 for 40) kept the chains moving — a tidy formula with Mike Evans still on the shelf with a collarbone injury. Meanwhile, the defense feasted: five sacks and two takeaways from Antoine Winfield Jr. alone — a fumble recovery and a fourth‑quarter pick — with Rashid Shaheed (9 for 75) and Chris Olave (8 for 63) left searching for daylight that never showed.

Big Dill of the Game: Anthony Nelson — a defensive end serving appetizers and the main course. The pick‑six was the momentum nuke, and he kept cooking late with a share of a sack to slam the door. That’s how you flip a rivalry game and make it a Big Dill. Until next time, this is Big Dill Sports — where ballin’ is a big dill. (nfl.com)
