  Great game by the Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs played a great first half of football 🏈 and the Falcons played a great second half of football. The Falcons finished the regular season defeating the Bucs 30-17 to go (7-10) on the year. The Bucs led at halftime 17-10 but Bucs head coach Todd Bowles pulled his starters in the second half and the Falcons outscored the Bucs 20-0 in the second half. This was strategic planning by Bowles because this was a game that the Bucs didn't have to win because they already locked up the #4 seed in the playoffs when they defeated the Carolina Panthers 30-24 last week at home. The Bucs finished (8-9) on the year. The Bucs will host the #5 seeded Dallas Cowboys (12-5) on Monday night on 1-16-23 at 8:15 PM at Raymond James Stadium 🏟️ on Martin Luther King day.
