The Atlanta Falcons had too many mistakes and too many injuries to overcome on Sunday in a game that would have gone a long way toward securing a division title and playoff berth. Instead, the Falcons lost to the Buccaneers 29-25 and remain in the thick of a confusing and tight NFC South race.
Atlanta came into the game dealing with a myriad of key injuries, and things didn’t get any easier on that front for the home team. Despite the mounting injuries, the Falcons managed to make this a tight game late into the fourth quarter, something that they’ve done pretty much all season long.
