Leonard Fournette scores two touchdowns as Tampa Bay holds off Atlanta to pick up its first victory at home this season.
Brady connected with Godwin over the middle for 6 yards and a first down to the 24. Godwin pulled in a low throw and took it 5 yards to the 30. A 12-yard Otton reception later on the drive moved the Bucs to the Falcons 44.

There is a tremendous gap in talent between the Bucs and Falcons, even with the injuries to Tampa Bay’s receiving corps. But a holding penalty on center Drew Dalman erased the play and resulted in a 10-yard penalty, making it third-and-17. Mike Evans made a diving catch along the left sideline two plays later for a 25-yard gain to the Falcons 12. A rollout pass from Brady to Fournette one play later put the Bucs in the end zone. Evans was shaken up on the play and left the field. Worse, Atlanta gave Tampa Bay possession at the Bucs 42 with time left on the clock. A neutral-zone infraction against Rakeem Nunez-Roches advanced the ball 5 more yards to the 16. Tampa Bay picked up another first down, forcing Atlanta to use up its timeouts, then ran out the clock.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers look to get back into the win column today vs. NFC Divisional rivals the Atlanta Falcons.
Buccaneers' faithful will be tuned into this divisional matchup looking for the team to finally put together a consistent, balanced attack on both sides of the ball. Atlanta may find it hard to establish their offense as they will be relying heavily on the likes of Drake London, Tyler Allgeier and Caleb Huntley. They restructured a ton in their secondary and still have one of the best interior defensive linemen in Grady Jarrett. The Atlanta Falcons are a much different team than the Bucs' have faced in the past. Last weeks' loss to the Kansas City Chiefs was the opposite as the offense seemed to get into a rhythm, besides the run game, but the defense was on the field for way too long as they struggled to contain Patrick Mahomes and company. Early in the season, the Bucs' offense had plenty of issues getting anything going on the offensive side of the ball.

The Buccaneers look to build off their first good passing performance - albeit, in a loss - last week where Tom Brady threw for over 380 yards and three touchdowns while Mike Evans had the team’s first 100-plus yard receiving performance of the season while adding two touchdowns. For the Falcons, they will also be without a tight end as Kyle Pitts is dealing with a hamstring injury and will not play after missing practice all week. The wide receiver tested his knee in pregame and will not be active today against the

For Week 5 of the NFL season, the Falcons will take on the Bucs at 1 p.m. With quarterback Marcus Mariota also contributing to the run game, the Falcons will need to continue to find success running the ball on Sunday against the Buccaneers to control the clock and keep the ball out of Tom Brady's hands.
Beginning with a powerful rushing attack, a breakdown of the Falcons new-look offense with Marcus Mariota at the helm…Key stats, lineup notes and more.
A lack of pressure has hindered the unit's progress in the past but in 2022, the Falcons' defense has made significant strides with Jarrett as the catalyst in the interior. You know, that's the thing, when you look at them – we see in this league a lot of offensive linemen, tackles up in a two-point stance – and when you look at [the Falcons] everybody's down in three-point stances [and] you know they're coming off. - Bucs' wide receiver Russell Gage practiced in a limited fashion this week and was added to the injury report on Saturday with a questionable game designation due to a back injury. With Pitts and Patterson out of the equation, it will be a committee effort between rookie receiver Drake London, Tyler Allgeier and Caleb Huntley at running back and a combination of Parker Hesse and Anthony Firkser at tight end. On a positive note, Chris Godwin practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week and for the first time this season, did not receive a game-status designation (out, doubtful, questionable). Tampa Bay's defense is predicated on stopping the run and the Week Five division clash is an opportunity for Todd Bowles' crew to get back to their bread-and-butter: forcing teams to be one-dimensional. At the outset of the season after Tom Brady's unretirement, the Bucs were deemed a prime contender in the NFC, while the Falcons were considered the prototypical 'rebuild' team. - After finishing near the bottom of the league in rushing last season (31st), the Falcons have undergone a transformation. - After the conclusion of the Buccaneers' final practice on Friday at the AdventHealth Training Center, Head Coach Todd Bowles confirmed that Cameron Brate would not suit up against the Falcons on Sunday. Their presence was felt and with both Godwin and Evans on the field against Atlanta, defenses must pick their poison. In the first of two matchups on the 2022 regular season slate, the Bucs will host the Falcons on Sunday, October 9 at 1:00 p.m. The victor of the NFC South showdown between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons will take first place in the division.
