The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are Super Bowl champs after a dominating 31-9 victory over Kansas City. Tom Brady winning a seventh Super Bowl ring gets most of the headlines, but the Bucs defense keeping Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs out of the end zone is also a major story.

New Orleans native Leonard Fournette also had a big game with 89 yards rushing and a touchdown. Kansas City was penalized eleven times and the refs threw two flags against ex-LSU star Tryann Mathieu.

Two Louisiana legends are entering the Pro Football Hall of Fame. New Orleans native Peyton Manning is elected into the Hall in his first year on the ballot, while former LSU lineman Alan Faneca gets in after coming up short five times. Faneca made nine Pro Bowls and six All-Pro teams in 13 NFL seasons after he was drafted in the first round by the Steelers in 1998.

Saints Quarterback Drew Brees has renegotiated his contract in another sign that a retirement announcement is looming. Brees is now set to make the veteran league minimum in 2021 a move that would save the Saints about 11-million dollars against the salary cap.

And the Saints are reportedly facing another penalty from the NFL for not following COVID-19 protocols. The league is looking into how Alvin Kamara got COVID. He reportedly got it from an interaction at the Saints facility with a person not employed by the team, who ended up testing positive for the virus as well.
