The Atlanta Falcons are set to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on "Thursday Night Football" at 8:15 p.m. ET. This game marks the third national TV appearance for the Falcons this season and is part of a series of NFC South matchups.

The Falcons, with a record of 2-2, recently defeated the New Orleans Saints 26-24 in Week 4, securing the best division record so far at 1-0. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers lead the NFC South with a 3-1 record after an impressive victory over the Philadelphia Eagles with a score of 33-16. This will be their first divisional game of the season.

Historically, the Falcons have not won off a short week since their victory against the Carolina Panthers in 2020 under interim head coach Raheem Morris. Former quarterback Matt Ryan led that win and will be inducted into the Falcons Ring of Honor during halftime.

The game will take place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and can be watched on Prime Video with Al Michaels as play-by-play announcer, Kirk Herbstreit as color analyst, and Kaylee Hartung reporting from the sidelines. Locally in Atlanta, fans can also watch on FOX 5 or listen to radio coverage on 92.9 The Game, Westwood One, and La Mejor.

Weather forecasts predict partly cloudy skies with temperatures around 66 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity at 79%.
