Game Preview
The stakes are high as the Atlanta Falcons head to Tampa Bay for a critical NFC South matchup against the Buccaneers, with both teams tied at 4-3. But Tampa Bay’s lineup has seen big shifts since last week, complicating their quest for the division lead.
The Buccaneers’ 41-31 loss to the Ravens on Monday came with a costly price: top receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are sidelined. Evans, who logged his 100th career touchdown catch before injuring his hamstring, will miss the next three games, and Godwin, the league’s second-leading receiver with 576 yards, faces season-ending surgery after dislocating his ankle.
With their top weapons out, Tampa Bay’s offense will lean on young talent. Rookies Jalen McMillan and Trey Palmer will step up, eager to seize the moment. McMillan, with 74 yards and a touchdown this season, and Palmer, with 61 yards and a score, bring fresh energy to the field. Coach Todd Bowles said, “They bring something different… It’ll be a challenge, but I’m excited to see what they can do.”
Meanwhile, Atlanta aims to regroup after a rough 34-14 loss to Seattle, marked by three fourth-quarter turnovers. A win on Sunday would position them as divisional frontrunners. Coach Raheem Morris, formerly with the Bucs, is confident in his team’s resilience, especially with Tampa’s injuries. “They’re pros; they’re going to be ready,” he stated.
Falcons QB Kirk Cousins will look to bounce back after a shaky performance against Seattle, where he threw two late interceptions and had a fumble returned for a touchdown. He’s posted 1,830 yards and 10 touchdowns with seven interceptions this season.
As for injuries, the Falcons will be without linebacker Troy Andersen (knee) for the fourth straight game, while safety Justin Simmons (hamstring) and cornerback Antonio Hamilton Sr. (back) are listed as doubtful and questionable, respectively. For the Bucs, Evans, safety Tykee Smith (concussion), and defensive tackle Greg Gaines (calf) are out, with other players still questionable for Sunday.
With divisional positioning on the line, both teams are sure to leave it all on the field.
