The Atlanta Falcons are hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for an NFC South showdown on Thursday Night Football.
The Falcons have the potential to take a big step after adding quarterback Kirk Cousins to free agency to provide a strong foundation for the quarterback position. He has done a nice job spreading the ball around. It has only resulted in a 2-2 record so far, but this team has been competitive for the most part so far.
The Bucs have surprised most of us so far. Their 3-1 record is even more impressive when you see that their wins came against the Washington Commanders, Detroit Lions, and Philadelphia Eagles.
