The weather ravaged town of New Orleans and the Louisiana Superdome recovered from Hurricane Gustav quickly enough to avoid plundering by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Saint's Drew Brees looked sharp early as he connected on a monstrous 39 yard pass to David Patten for a quick six points. But minutes later the Bucs' Phillip Buchanon answered with a 26 yard interception return for a touchdown.
A kicking duel ensued for the following 30 minutes as Matt Bryant kicked two field goals for the Bucs and Martin Grammatica added one for the Saints. Then the sky opened for both offenses as Brees threw an 84 yarder to Devery Henderson for a score, followed by Garcia to Ike Hilliard for six then Brees to Reggie Bush for another. The Saints shored up the win with a Fujita interception of Garcia with seconds remaining. The Buccaneers, with a home field advantage for the Superbowl, need to eliminate the turnovers and penalties if they intend to be there.
