Atlanta Falcons vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Full game preview

For the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, this is a must-win game. The playoff race is well and truly on, and the team that performs better in December will claim an NFC wild-card berth. Both the Falcons (6-5) and Buccaneers (5-6) are in the mix, but can’t afford to drop this game.

When these two teams met in Atlanta back in Week 8, it was Tampa Bay who walked out triumphant with an overtime victory. The Falcons turned the ball over four times in that game, twice inside the red zone, which made it very difficult.
