Players To Watch:
Tampa Bay: Wide Receiver – Chris Godwin
The Buccaneers passing offense ranks ninth in football this season and Godwin is a big part of that, he’s had a lot of success to this point of the season as the slot receiver. Look for Mayfield to get the ball to him early and often as the Buccaneers look to drive right down the field.
Atlanta: Running Back – Bijan Robinson
Robinson needs to get going for this Falcons offense as he averages 56 yards on the ground per game, this Tampa Bay rush defense ranks 22nd in the league against the run, look for Robinson to get going and have a big night running the ball tonight if the Falcons want to pick up their second straight win.
