So much of the attention was paid to Tom Brady losing his Buccaneers debut.
And while the Saints defense had plenty to do with that, their special teams also played a central role.
Saints punter Thomas Morstead was named NFC special teams player of the week for his part in that.
Morstead had five punts downed inside the 20-yard line last week (they were all inside the 15, actually), giving Brady a lot of long fields to have to work with. His only punt which was returned gained no yards.
It proved too much of a field position deficit for Brady to overcome, in a solid overall effort by the Saints.
