Paths to victory for the desperate Falcons and Bucs in Week 13

The last time I wrote this article for Falcons and Buccaneers, I implored the Falcons to get their passing attack back on track. That only sort of happened against Tampa Bay, and the passing game dove off a cliff from there. The Buccaneers, meanwhile, did not put forth the high-flying attack I was expecting, and the end result was a sort of low-scoring, tightly-knotted game.

I'm expecting we'll see that again. Here's our paths to victory for the week.

The Buccaneers' run defense is tough, but the passing game has been chronically unable to put points on the board in recent weeks, and they're getting Devonta Freeman back.
