The Atlanta Falcons always seem to show up when you least expect it. That was the case during the team's 29-28 comeback win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night. With nothing to play for other than pride, the Falcons overcame a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit to stun the Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium.
The Falcons then made a key stop on defense, as cornerback Dee Alford intercepted Mayfield's pass. Atlanta capitalized on the extra possession by finishing a 10-play drive with a Kyle Pitts' touchdown catch -- his third of the evening -- to trim the Bucs' lead to two points.
