Saints score 27 points in second quarter against Buccaneers

There was a wild first half in the Big Easy on Sunday as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints put 51 points on the scoreboard.

The Buccaneers surged to a 17-0 lead before New Orleans ralled, keyed by a punt return for a TD by Rashid Shaheed.

Spencer Rattler was making his first NFL start at QB and the rookie from South Carolina threw for 140 yards and a TD before the break.

The TD pass was good for 10 yards to Bub Means and it gave New Orleans its first lead at 20-17.

The teams then traded touchdowns and the Saints led at the half, 27-24.
