The Saints pulled off an improbable win yesterday as they defeated the super bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers 36-27. New Orleans did it without its top two quarterbacks, Taysom Hill, who didn’t play because of a concussion, and Jameis Winston went down with a knee injury after he was tackled by former LSU star Devin White, who was flagged for a horse collar.

Louisiana Tech lost its starting quarterback, Austin Kendall, in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s loss to Old Dominion with an apparent lower back injury. His replacement, J-D Head was just 3-for-7 for 23 yards.
