Falcons falter again, lose to buccaneers

Falcons fall at home against bucs, on 2 game losing streak
Atlanta dropped one to Tennessee last week, and dropped an OT game this week at home. It was a crucial loss as the bucs have claimed the divisional lead. The falcons had a 14 point lead with 4 left to play, but allowed Tampa Bay to rally and score with 50 seconds left. They received the kickoff and drove down the field and Atlanta never got the ball back. It was a bad loss as the defense surrendered 542 total yards of offense, but Matt Ryan was phenomenal and posted a perfect passer rating. Ultimately, the defense was too poor for the falcons to win, even with 3 Jameis Winston turnovers. They must figure out a defensive scheme for the next time these teams square off. Up next, Atlanta looks to snap their losing streak against the 49ers (4-3) on the road. It may seem dire, but for the NFC south divisional race, this game may be a must win before Matty ice and company take their bye week
