Falcons: Three keys to beating Bucs & Tom Brady for the first time
The Falcons need to deny Tom Brady the opportunity to choreograph a game-winning drive
The Buccaneers won the division because of their ability to create when it matters the most. It is imperative that the Falcons keep the Bucs beyond arm’s length when the game grows old.
Tampa Bay has not been good through the first three-and-a-half quarters but for some reason, they decide to turn it on when they have to. The Saints, Cardinals, and Panthers had wins in their pocket but Tampa managed to snatch those wins.
You cannot put yourself in a position to give up a late lead, make sure you have at least a two-score lead with two minutes remaining. While this defense has improved, who would ever trust them in a late-game situation against Brady?
