=14.0ptThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have revenge on their minds when they welcome the Atlanta Falcons to town this Sunday. In their 1st meeting back at the beginning of October, Atlanta won a high scoring affair 36-30 in overtime. Baker Mayfield was held to 180 yards but tossed 3 touchdowns. Mike Evans caught 2 of those touchdown passes but the Bucs will be without him and Chris Godwin as both suffered injuries last week. They will need to rely on Baker working with a supporting cast of receivers and a run game that will be led by Rachaad White and Bucky Irving. It will be a tall task to duplicate the offensive output they put up last meeting. The Falcons will be healthier and are coming off a rough 34-14 loss at home to Seattle last week. Kirk Cousins threw 2 interceptions and was sacked 3 times. Bijan Robinson produced 143 total yards and scored in the game but the offense continually stalled on drives and were not able to keep pace with Geno Smith and the Seahawks. Cousins and company will hope to get back to the 500+ passing yards they went for back in their last meeting.
