Falcons squander chances in loss to Bucs
In the 30-17 loss to the Bucs, the Falcons squandered opportunities from the half-yard line and later fumbled with a chance to take the lead and put some pressure on the Bucs. In the end, quarterback Tom Brady, who passed for 368 yards and four touchdowns, was just too much for the Falcons and their light pass rush. Also, the rotating centers plan backfired with botched snaps, five sacks and 11 quarterback hits.
