This is a series that goes back to 1977 with the Buccaneers leading the all-time series Overall Series 24-23. The Last game these two clubs played was the highest scoring in the series history as the Falcons topped the Buccaneers by a score of 43-28. This loss ignited the Buccaneers last season as afterward they went on a five-game win streak and nearly made the playoffs.
This season both teams are currently riding two-game win streaks, but are on the opposite end of the playoff contention. The Falcons are 6-4 while the Buccaneers are 4-6. If the season were to have ended last week, Atlanta would be one of three teams from the NFC South that would be in the playoffs.
