5 takeaways from Falcons’ Week 5 loss to Bucs

The Atlanta Falcons got off to a slow start in the first half of their Week 5 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and things wouldn’t get much better until late in the fourth quarter. The Bucs led 21-0 before the Falcons went on a 15-0 run to make it 21-15 game with four minutes left.

Atlanta’s defense, after struggling all game, stepped up with what appeared to be a third-down stop, but Grady Jarrett was called for a questionable roughing the passing penalty. Tampa Bay held on for a 21-15 win, dropping the Falcons to 2-3 on the season.
