The Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, both with records of 4-3, are set to face off again this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. Their previous encounter three weeks ago resulted in a narrow overtime victory for the Falcons, who triumphed 36-30 at home.
Since their last meeting, both teams have experienced mixed results. Each secured a win against an NFC South rival before suffering significant losses in Week 8. The Buccaneers were defeated by the Baltimore Ravens with a score of 41-31, while the Falcons lost to the Seattle Seahawks, ending the game at 34-14.
In their earlier clash with the Buccaneers, Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins delivered an impressive performance by setting a franchise record with 509 passing yards. Known for his ability to recover from defeats, Cousins has described his motivation as stemming from an "utter fear of failing again." In such situations, he holds a record of 18-7 and averages 384.4 passing yards.
The Buccaneers will face additional challenges without their key receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, who were injured during Monday night's game against the Ravens. These players have been crucial to the team's offense this season.
Due to these injuries, many experts are predicting that the Falcons may have an advantage going into Sunday's matchup. For more detailed predictions and analysis, visit ESPN, CBS Sports, Sports Illustrated, The Athletic, and NFL Network.
