3 Keys to Defeating the Atlanta Falcons

When the Buccaneers and Falcons met in Week 8, Jones has one of his best games of the season. Jones caught 12 passes on 13 targets, picking up 162 yards and a touchdown. He ended the game averaging more than 13 yards per reception. The Buccaneers have a completely new set of cornerbacks this time around, though. In Week 8, Mike Jenkins and Johnthan Banks worked with the first-team defense. This weekend, Jude Adjei-Barimah and Sterling Moore are expected to start. It’s easier said than done, but keeping the ball out of Jones’ hands is a starting point for slowing down Atlanta’s offense, which averages the fifth-most yards per game in the NFL this season.
