The Atlanta Falcons host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, looking to get a solid grasp on the top spot in the NFC South. They have a chance to move to 4-0 in the division and on the way to holding multiple tiebreakers. The Falcons have already taken out the Bucs once, way back in Week 7, but these two teams aren't the same as they were on October 22.

"They're (Bucs) trying to run the ball more, trying to even things out for Baker Mayfield, and they've had success in their last two games. It's something they're trying to get to offensively to make them a little bit more multi-dimensional," says Falcons Analyst Dave Archer. "Can Atlanta play two deep safeties and still stop the run? That's one of the challenges in this game, probably the biggest difference I see from Tampa in the last couple of weeks."


The first meeting between the two teams was won by the Falcons on a Younghoe Koo 51-yard FG as the clock expired, which helped to cover up a game that featured three fumbles from Desmond Ridder and Bijan Robinson only carrying the ball one time, and it also served as the first road win of Desmond Ridder's career.
