The Atlanta Falcons (3-4) may have a losing record, but for now, it’s good enough to lead the NFC South. Tom Brady and the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-5) laid another egg during Thursday night’s loss, which dropped them to second place in the division.
It was the Buccaneers’ third straight loss since that awful roughing the passer penalty called on Falcons defensive lineman Grady Jarrett back in Week 5. Atlanta currently sits atop the division, but Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers becomes a battle for first place.
