The Falcons meet with the division leading, and defending Super Bowl champion, Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the second and final time this season, looking to break a losing streak in the head-to-head matchup and to thrust themselves into the NFC’s playoff picture.
This is a rivalry which could not possibly be any closer, from a historic head-to-head perspective. Tampa Bay won the matchup in Week 2, and that tied the all time series at 28-28.
The Bucs have now won three consecutive meetings, which is their longest winning streak against Atlanta since they swept the Birds in 2015 and then won the season opener in 2016.
