TAMPA, Fla. — The Atlanta Falcons rallied late in the fourth quarter to defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night at Raymond James Stadium.
Why it’s important: The Falcons were eliminated from playoff contention in Week 14, so this win is good for morale in Atlanta.
Key takeaway: The Falcons averaged 7.2 yards per play. The offense was moving the ball well. However, Atlanta had 19 penalties for 125 yards, including several that negated impactful plays. Ten of those infractions were on the offense.
Key moment: Zane Gonzalez’s game-winning field goal as time expired, sealed the victory for Atlanta in a back-and-forth game that came down to the very final play.
