What if the Falcons win/lose against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Part 2)
The most important game of 2024 thus far.
The two NFC South giants are both reeling, and coming into what is essentially the most important matchup of the season thus far licking their wounds a little bit.
The Atlanta Falcons are coming off of their most lopsided defeat of the season, losing to the Seahawks by 20 at home, following a fourth quarter unraveling which featured three Kirk Cousins turnovers in succession.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had an even worse evening one day later on the national stage. They lost by 10 against the Baltimore Ravens (in a game which was not as close as the scoreline indicates) while seeing their two best wide receivers — Mike Evans and Chris Godwin — both go down due to multi-week injuries. Godwin in particular looks to be done for the season following a gruesome ankle injury, which happened during garbage time.
Each sitting at 4-3, the stage is now set for a massive contest which will determine who gets control of the division going into the middle of the season.
Let’s take a look at the circumstances surrounding the Falcons if they beat the Buccaneers in Week 8, as well as looking at the scenario if they lose.
