Atlanta has not swept the season series since 2018. SERIES NOTES: The Falcons have won the past two meetings with their NFC South rival after dropping five in a row from 2020-22 during Tom Brady’s time with the Buccaneers. CB Jeff Okudah (ankle), DT David Onyemata (ankle) and C Drew Dalman (ankle) were banged up, as well. LB Nate Landman and OT Kaleb McGary could miss time after going down with knee injuries against the Jets, though neither was thought to be a long-term issue. Britt (back) and DT Vita Vea (toe) also were nursing injuries. LB Devin White (foot) was inactive against Carolina. KEY INJURIES: The Buccaneers were hopeful that LB Lavonte David (groin) can return to the lineup after missing the past two games. Desmond Ridder completed just 12 of 27 passes for 121 yards and was sacked three times by the Jets. The Falcons haven’t been able to muster much of a passing game. Atlanta rushed for 156 yards in the first meeting against Tampa Bay and will likely lean heavily on its trio of Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier and Cordarrelle Patterson in the rematch. Bates also leads the Falcons with 92 tackles and three forced fumbles. He ranks third in the league in picks, trailing only Dallas’ DaRon Bland with eight and Baltimore’s Geno Stone with six. Bates had his fifth interception - a new career high - in last weekend’s victory over the Jets. In his first year with Atlanta, he’s had a huge impact on the defense. Evans also became the first player to begin a career with a streak of 10 straight years with at least 60 catches.įALCONS PLAYER TO WATCH: S Jessie Bates.
