The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-5) are on the road for the first time in five weeks as they travel up north to take on the Atlanta Falcons (4-9) in Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

This week’s game has major playoff implications, just like last week’s game. If the Bucs win, then they are essentially in. If they lose, however, they’ll have to wait at least another week before they can officially say they’re playoff-bound.

Overview

• All-time series: Atlanta leads, 28-25.
• Longest win streak: Tampa Bay won six games in a row from 1997-2003.
