Tampa Bay could have clinched the NFC South with a New Orleans loss last night. It put me in the awkward and socially unenviable position of rooting for the Falcons. Every time Roddy White would get popped by a safety, I'd pump my fist in the air and growl out a "Yeah!" only to be followed by, "Oh, right." I took four showers last night after the game but I still don't feel completely clean.
Anyway, the Saints won 31-14 in a game that was only close when both teams were trading three-and-outs in the first quarter. It really was an ugly game. The good news is that the Bucs play the Falcons on Sunday and unless they just totally don't prepare or practice and phone it in all week, they should easily beat this team. Which is pretty much what I said about the Texans. Let's just seal up this playoff spot and move on with our lives this week, ok?
