The Atlanta Falcons are thisclose to being 0-5.
They don't care, nor should they. For the third time this season the Falcons stared down a loss and somehow pulled out a miraculous win. This time it was a massive Thursday night showdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Falcons had a huge drive in the final two minutes of regulation to set up a game-tying field goal as the fourth quarter expired. Overtime didn't last long.
KhaDarel Hodge took a pass in overtime, broke a tackle and scored a 45-yard touchdown on the first drive of overtime and the Falcons had a 36-30 overtime win.
