ATLANTA -- The game had been over for 20 minutes and Calais Campbell, still in full uniform, remained engaged in conversation with his defensive linemates -- sometimes going locker-to-locker to talk.

He could have waited until Monday, but this felt too important. He wanted to talk through what had just happened and what could still come.

At age 37, Campbell has seen almost everything there is in the NFL. So he understood what the Atlanta Falcons' 29-25 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday felt like and meant.
