Live Thread: Buccaneers at Falcons on ‘Thursday Night Football’

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons will kick off Week 5 on “Thursday Night Football” in a battle between NFC South rivals. These team's battles have been fairly even over their 61-game histories, with the Buccaneers holding a 31-30 edge, while the Falcons have won two of the last three.

The Buccaneers are 3-1 on the season, with their only loss (to the Broncos) following their win over the Detroit Lions—a common theme with Lions opponents this season—and they are coming off a convincing 33-16 win over the Eagles. Meanwhile, the Falcons are 2-2 on the season, falling to the Steelers and Chiefs, while also beating the Eagles, and most recently beating the Saints.
