Bucs vs. Falcons: 5 things you might have missed

The Bucs' dramatic victory over the Falcons produced a few memories, but here are a few things you might have missed:

1 Will Gholston stepped up on a decimated defensive line. Gerald McCoy and Jacquies Smith, 1-2 in sacks for the Bucs, were out with injuries.

But third-year DE Gholston continued his strong play, stepping up with two sacks against Falcons QB Matt Ryan. Gholston, known as a top run stopper more so than a pass rusher, had two sacks total in his previous 25 games before Sunday.

"Will Gholston, we've talked a lot about how he's improved," coach Lovie Smith said.
