The Atlanta Falcons squandered a huge chance to bring a bit of clarity to the muddled NFL South. The Falcons (6-7) find themselves in a three-way tie for the lead of the NFL’s weakest division with New Orleans and Tampa Bay after a last-minute loss to the Buccaneers. “We’ve won some games in the clutch and we’ve lost a couple,” coach Arthur Smith said.
Baker Mayfield knew the Falcons would be devoting plenty of attention to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Cade Otton hauled in an 11-yard touchdown pass with 31 seconds remaining, capping a wild fourth quarter that pushed the Buccaneers into a tie for first place in the wobbly NFC South with a 29-25 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
