Tyler Shough ran for two touchdowns and the Saints upset the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24-20 on Sunday to tighten the division race. The rookie quarterback is 2-3 as a starter, with the other victory coming at Carolina.
The lowly Saints (3-10), who were 8 1/2-point underdogs, frustrated Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers (7-6) in a sloppy game mostly played through a driving storm.
The four-time defending division champion Bucs lost for the fourth time in five games and fell into a first-place tie with Carolina. The Bucs and Panthers face off twice in the final three games.
