6 Key Matchups for Bucs vs. Falcons

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-4) get back to divisional play on Thursday night, seeking to go to 3-0 in NFC South play with a second win over the first-place Atlanta Falcons (5-3). Here are a few individual matchups that could play a key role in determining the outcome of this primetime Week Nine contest:

QB Jameis Winston vs. LB Vic Beasley
Winston has done a great job protecting the football as of late; the team has just one turnover in the last three games after committing 11 through the first four. Winston will need to continue to be vigilant in the pocket and mindful of where Beasley is on the field.
