FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Sound the bell. Round two between the Atlanta Falcons (4-3) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-3) gets underway Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
The first time these two squads met, it was a thriller at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Falcons won 36-30 in overtime, capping off a truly wild game. Quarterback Kirk Cousins exploded for 509 passing yards and four touchdowns, including a walk-off in overtime.
This time, the Falcons travel to face the Bucs at Raymond James Stadium. The Bucs are the first repeat opponent for Atlanta this season. The Falcons currently lead the NFC South and have a 3-0 record against the division, which gives them an early tiebreaker against the Bucs. However, Tampa has the same 4-3 record on the season and would take possession of first place in the division with a win on Sunday.
