What to know

The Atlanta Falcons have not won a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since December 29, 2019, but they will look to end the drought next Sunday. The Falcons and Tampa Bay will go head-to-head in the NFC South battle at 1 p.m. ET at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Both teams enter the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

Atlanta beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 21-14 on Sunday. Among those leading the charge for Atlanta is RB Cordarelle Patterson, who dashed into two TDs and 108 yards on 16 carry. That nimble move stood out as Patterson hit the 100-yard dash for the first time this season. Patterson’s stellar performance also set his single-game high of the season.

Meanwhile, Tampa Bay had a 38-31 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. RB Leonard Fournette had a stellar game for Tampa Bay as he dashed in for three TDs and 100 yards on 17 takers in addition to grabbing a received TD. The Buccaneers’ victory came from a 28-yard dash from Fournette with just 0:29 left in the fourth inning.

Tampa Bay’s defense is a force to reckon with, as it has racked up two interceptions and three interceptions. Options provided by SS Antoine Winfield Jr. and CB Pierre Desir.

The wins took the Falcons to 5-6 and Tampa Bay to 8-3. Some stats to keep in mind while watching: Atlanta is stumbling over competition for the second most touchdowns allowed in the league, having dropped out 31 for the season. Tampa Bay’s offense has more to brag about, as they enter the game boasting the most overall offensive touchdowns in NFL at 42.
