The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are coming off a disheartening loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. They lost more than the game as they also lost Mike Evans due to a hamstring issue for a couple weeks and Chris Godwin was lost for the remainder of the season.
The Bucs’ offense will experience some growing pains this week and beyond as they find their footing. Sterling Shepard and Jalen McMillan will be forced to do some heavy lifting until Evans can return. The defense has proven to flash at moments but not been consistent, and going against the Falcons doesn’t make it a great week to find that stability.
There are tons of matchups for both teams to watch. Our game preview will let you know who and what to watch in this Falcons matchup. Let’s start with where to watch the game, shall we?
