The Bucs ended their two-game home losing streak by jumping out to a 21-0 lead against the Falcons and then hanging on
after Atlanta scored on a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns. A generous roughing-the-passer penalty on Tom Brady on the
final drive allowed the Bucs to run out the clock to the scorn of most of the NFL media. Brady threw underneath to Leonard
Fournette and Cade Otton most of the day but did hit on a 40-yard pass to Mike Evans to set up the opening touchdown.
