Bucs' Costly Special Teams Error Sparks Falcons' Shocking Touchdown Blitz

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers appeared to have the upper hand early on, clinging to a 7-0 lead after halting the Falcons’ advance deep in their own territory. Just as Atlanta seemed poised to chip away with a 31-yard attempt from Zane Gonzalez, a crucial offsides penalty on cornerback Zyon McCollum turned the tide. That borderline call—whether he eliminated the neutral zone infraction in time—ended up erasing what would have been points for the Falcons. But they didn’t stay silent for long. Seizing the opportunity, Kirk Cousins quickly connected with Bijan Robinson on a nifty 8-yard touchdown strike, leveling the score with over twelve minutes left in the second quarter. Cousins is showcasing precision today, completing 8 of 10 passes for 83 yards and that key touchdown, while Kyle Pitts and Robinson continue to chip in with their own impressive numbers. The momentum is swinging, and if this back-and-forth keeps up, we’re in for something special. LEARN MORE

It was close whether he got back out of the neutral zone before the snap. The 5-yard penalty on fourth-and-4 allowed the Falcons to take the points off the board.
