Buccaneers take lead in first quarter The Buccaneers got the ball first and got to the 44, but they stalled out at midfield and were forced to punt. The Falcons

The Buccaneers are looking to take control of the NFC South on "Thursday Night Football." Here's how to watch them play the Falcons.

Losing to the Falcons was a tough blow for Tampa Bay's playoff hopes. There is still time to work back into the playoff picture, but the Buccaneers are going to need to beat the Carolina Panthers. They will face the Panthers twice in the final four games of the regular season.

Here we'll try to look at and discuss the Tampa Bay Buccaneers most to blame for their primetime Week 15 loss to Falcons.

Unfortunately for the Bucs though, they didn't walk away with the win and that's because they totally imploded in a stunning 29-28 loss that knocked them into second place in the NFC South. The Falcons committed a franchise-record 19 penalties, they missed TWO two-point conversions in the fourth quarter, and yet, they somehow still won.

The Bucs are back on top after a 6-yard Devin Culp receiving touchdown. It was Culp's first career score and the first touchdown scored by a Bucs tight end this season. The scoring drive began on Tampa Bay's 10-yard line, but a 45-yard Mike Evans reception and three Falcons penalties moved the ball rapidly into Atlanta's red zone.
