After a successful preseason calling plays, Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Todd Monken retained those duties in the first game of the 2018 regular season.

Coach Dirk Koetter’s decision to stay with the hot hand and give up play-calling responsibilities kept a good thing going, as the Tampa Bay offense carved up the New Orleans Saints on the way to a 48-40 road upset, tying a franchise record for points in a game.

After the game, offensive tackle Donovan Smith couldn’t contain his excitement when he saw Monken in the tunnel, shaking the living daylights out of his coach as a sign of congratulations for calling such a superb game:

Hopefully, Smith doesn’t get a fine later this week for unnecessary roughness.
