ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers established early that Thursday night's game would be an offensive slugfest with both teams scoring touchdowns on their first possessions, so it seemed fitting the NFC South showdown would be decided by a long TD pass.
Kirk Cousins threw his fourth touchdown of the game, a 45-yard score to KhaDarel Hodge, who had just entered the contest after an injury to Drake London, to give the Falcons a 36-30 overtime victory.
Younghoe Koo's 51-yard field goal as time expired in regular expired forced overtime, and Cousins took care of the rest as he set a career passing mark with 509 yards to lift Atlanta (3-2) into a tie atop the division.
