The Falcons fought off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to claim a 31-26 victory, a pivotal win that placed the Dirty Birds in first place in the NFC South.
Why it matters: Yesterday's triumph in Tampa was crucial for the Falcons — who now have five wins and three losses under their belt — after suffering a devastating, 20-point loss last week against the Seattle Seahawks.
Catch up quick: Sunday's game was the second time both teams faced off in the regular season. The Dirty Birds defeated the Bucs 36-30 in an "overtime thriller" during an Oct. 3 game at home, Axios' Ross Terrell previously reported.
