Recap: Falcons 24 Buccaneers 21

What do you get when a team who chokes in the second half matches up with a team that surges in the second half? A pretty intriguing game. The Falcons managed to stay one step ahead, thanks to a phenomenal running effort from Devonta Freeman and a beautiful 50+ yard FG from Matt Bryant, but crucial mistakes kept the Bucs alive late in the game. The aformentioned Freeman fumbled twice, and the Bucs kept Matt Ryan's lightning pass game bottled up. Jameis Winston finally emerged from the cobwebs with a 3 TD game, and his chemistry with Mike Evans and O.J Howard was on point. The Falcons emerged victorious, but the Bucs looked decent in defeat. Aside from that fumble in the Red Zone in the second quarter, of course.
