Falcons Fall To Tampa Bay With Division Implications

  • last year
Transcript
00:00 The Atlanta Falcons lose to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
00:04 Did we learn anything about the Falcons in this defeat?
00:06 Yeah, and we saw this happen in the South last year, where the Buccaneers were not very good,
00:14 but they were good enough to win a division, and the record wasn't very good. Well, here we go
00:17 again. The Falcons now are 6-7, and still in a tie for first place in that division. So,
00:25 that marks a success of a sort. They lose this game at the buzzer, 29-25 to Tampa Bay,
00:32 and they do it despite Ritter really hitting the accelerator late in the game. They do it despite
00:38 a Falcons critic, a fan critic would say, despite finally realizing that Bijan Robinson should be
00:44 the centerpiece of everything they do. It's taken, frankly, way too long for the organization to come
00:50 to that conclusion. But now, here he is in place. It's too bad that a good late game effort by Ritter
00:57 was wasted. Baker Mayfield gets the touchdown pass with 11 seconds left. Baker is a gamer, though.
01:04 I know that there are those who have faith in Baker Mayfield. He didn't put up any numbers,
01:10 so the Falcons' defense did plenty, but the 29-25 loss at the buzzer and a first place tie
01:18 for losers in the South. Eventually, you're going to win the South,
01:22 and then you get to say you're the winner. But record-wise, you're a loser.
