The Tampa Bay Buccaneers missed a crucial opportunity to solidify their lead in the NFC South, falling to the Atlanta Falcons 36-30 in overtime. Despite leading for much of the game, the Bucs allowed the Falcons to tie in the final seconds and then score the winning touchdown in overtime.

Coach Todd Bowles acknowledged the team's shortcomings, emphasizing the need for improvement while praising the offense's strong start under new coordinator Liam Coen. Baker Mayfield's three touchdown passes were overshadowed by defensive lapses and missed tackles.
