Tampa Bay hosted Atlanta in a week five divisional matchup with first place in the NFC South on the line and with five weeks in the books the Bucs lead the pack. The media will, no doubt and rightfully so, be a blaze over a very questionable late game penalty, but you can’t apologize for a victory.
Last week saw the Buccaneers abandon the run game, for the first time this season. Throughout most of the game Tampa had negative total yards rushing as a team, Leonard Fournette finished the day with more yards receiving than rushing.
