Both teams struggled near the goal line, but Atlanta hit a field goal as time expired to beat the Bucs and move into first place in the NFC South.
TAMPA, Fla. — With first place in the NFC South somehow on the line, this was a battle of futility, an absolute clinic in red-zone failure with two teams trying so actively to give the other team the win, and Atlanta escaping with a victory.Ugly as it was, the win puts the Falcons atop the NFC South standings, ahead of the Bucs and Saints in a division still looking a lot like the one Tampa Bay won at 8-9 a year ago.
As bad as Ridder was, the Bucs managed to out-disappoint the Falcons in the closing minutes. In range for a tying field goal and driving for a go-ahead touchdown with fewer than four minutes left, Bucs quarterback "I wanted to close it out when we got down there with a touchdown," Mayfield said."Once we kicked the field goal and they stopped us, I mean, you're just hoping for overtime.", had one more mistake left, and Ridder found Pitts for 39 yards to the Bucs' 36. Two plays later, Koo hit the game-winning field goal.There were frustrations far outside the red zone, to be sure.
