(ESPN) – On a night they were looking to clinch their first NFC South title since 2007.

The Buccaneers lost Pro Bowl receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in the first half Sunday against the Saints, Leonard Fournette in the second, and they were shut out for the first time in Tom Brady’s tenure as their quarterback.

The 9-0 defeat to the Saints marked only the third shoutout of Brady’s NFL career with him as the starter, and first since Week 14 of the 2006 season when he was a member of the New England Patriots and opposing Joey Harrington and the Nick Saban-coached Miami Dolphins.

Both of Brady’s top targets were ruled out to begin the second half.
