Falcons vs. Buccaneers: Will Tampa’s Underdogs Topple the NFC South Titans Once More?
They could be in the Falcons’ situation.
While Tampa Bay is trying to lock down a fifth straight division title, Atlanta secured an eighth straight losing season with Sunday’s 37-9 drubbing at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks, dropping its record to 4-9.
The free-falling Falcons have lost seven of eight and veteran Kirk Cousins is finishing out the season at quarterback after Michael Penix Jr. tore his ACL.
Cousins hasn’t inspired much optimism since taking over for Penix, completing 58.0% of his passes while averaging 6.43 yards per attempt for a 74.7 passer rating. He has been far worse when throwing under duress and Tampa Bay is one of the NFL’s best teams at generating pressure.
