Why to watch
Could the Buccaneers end the season with 10 straight defeats, many of them blowouts? The Falcons are looking to solidify their wild-card seeding, after getting drubbed in New Orleans.
Inside story
Who can forget the first meeting, when the Falcons jumped offside on defense, costing them a chance to get the ball late and make a comeback. These teams have gone in opposite directions since then. Tampa's defense has been brutal, but Matt Ryan has been preyed on by the Bucs' secondary in the past -- he has nine picks against them, nearly twice as many as against any other foe.
