On Thursday night, the Atlanta Falcons (3-2) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-2) put on a show in front of the fans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins passed for 509 yards and four touchdowns, including the game-clinching score in overtime to give Atlanta a 36-30 win.
Cousins recorded his third game-winning drive of the season and the Falcons improved to 3-2. Drake London finished with 12 catches for 154 receiving yards and a touchdown. Darnell Mooney had nine catches for 105 receiving yards, two touchdowns and two fourth-down conversions. Kyle Pitts added seven receptions for 88 yards in Week 5.
Thursday night’s improbable win was another sign that this team is ready to take the next step. After the game, Falcons fans on Twitter were feeling pretty good.
