"There's just nothing that says the Falcons should have won this game. That is, except for a remarkable game from Kirk Cousins, Bijan Robinson, and Kyle Pitts. I mean, a truly sensational performance that involved only the 20th game ever where a team gained 350+ passing yards, scored 3+ passing TDs, gained 100+ rushing yards, and racked up 5+ sacks as a team (the last instance was Baltimore Ravens vs. Detroit in 2023)."
"The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' struggles against the Atlanta Falcons over the past couple of years needs to be studied. How the Bucs were able to allow the Falcons to, not only stay in this game, but end up stealing this game in Raymond-James Stadium is a remarkable feat in and of itself. Not even accounting for the franchise record in penalties, which led to 7 first downs,"
"Listen, does the process stink? Absolutely. Giving the Los Angeles Rams, one of the best teams in the league right now, a potential top-ten pick will never sit right in my mind. However, there is no denying how impactful James Pearce, Jr. has been this season. Also, Pearce ties Mike Pitts (1983) for most sacks by a Falcons rookie with just under four games left to go."
The Atlanta Falcons defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Raymond-James Stadium thanks to standout performances from Kirk Cousins, Bijan Robinson, and Kyle Pitts. The Falcons recorded 350+ passing yards, 3+ passing touchdowns, 100+ rushing yards, and over five sacks, a combination achieved only 20 times in NFL history. James Pearce Jr. continued his rookie sack surge and tied a Falcons rookie record. The Buccaneers committed a franchise-record number of penalties that extended drives, received a notable Mike Evans return, suffered from Drake London's absence, and experienced questionable decisions by head coach Raheem Morris.
