The Bucs moved to the verge of their first playoff berth in 13 seasons with a tremendous second half comeback.
Trailing 17-0 at the half, they scored on five straight possessions as Tom Brady passed for 390 yards and the
defense began to get to Matt Ryan. The Falcons must be sick of the sight of Brady and comebacks. Mike Evans
had his first 100-yard game since Week 4 to keep alive his hopes of a seventh straight 1,000-yard season.
