Following a matchup against the New Orleans Saints, which was deadlocked going into the season, the Atlanta Falcons gear up for a divisional matchup against another rival where the overall record could not be closer.
The Falcons and Buccaneers have met 61 total times in their franchise histories (two histories which, for the most part, have been pretty pathetic), and have split it almost exactly down the middle at 31-30, with that slight edge favoring the Bucs.
Atlanta finally stopped the bleeding a little bit with two victories in the 2023 calendar year, following five consecutive Tom Brady led victories to turn the tide in this rivalry.
