    Buccaneers vs. Falcons Thursday Night Football Result: Atlanta stuns Tampa Bay in OT in huge night for Kirk Cousins

    Vaseline Posted on

    The Atlanta Falcons trailed by three points with less than two minutes remaining and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in possession. You’ll never guess what happened next.

    After a furious attempt to send the game to OT, the Falcons stunned their NFC South foes on a 45-yard KhaDarel Hodge touchdown to win 36-30. The biggest star of the night: Kirk Cousins, who shook off a slow start to his Falcons tenure with one of the biggest nights of his career.

    The former Minnesota Vikings starter finished 42 of 58 for 509 passing yards, four touchdowns and an interception. He picked the Bucs apart in the attempt to force OT, then hit them again after the Falcons won the second coin toss.

    The Falcons’ comeback canceled out an excellent night for Baker Mayfield, who was 19 of 24 for 180 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. The Tampa Bay run game also combined for 160 yards on 26 attempts. But some late missteps spelled doom for a team no longer in charge of the NFC South.

    Here’s how it all played out on Yahoo Sports.

    • Kirk Cousins: 42 of 58 for 509 yards, four touchdowns and a pick, plus a tying drive with a minute left and no timeouts other than the game-winning drive. It’s been a tough start for him, but he made a statement tonight.

    • TOUCHDOWN: Falcons stun the Bucs in OT

      KhaDarel Hodge breaks a tackle and finds an opening in the Tampa Bay defense to steal a win. What an ending, what a game.

    • Uh oh. Drake London made a big catch on third, but he’s still down after a big hit. He was assessed for a concussion earlier this game.

      He is now at 154 meters, but that could be it.

    • Falcons win the toss to open OT and can win it here.

    • The Falcons are called for a delay of play, pushing Koo’s attempt to 52 yards. He makes it.

      We go into overtime.

    • Another pass to London gets it 15 yards and Kirk Cousins ​​spikes the ball with one second left. Younghoe Koo comes in to force OT.

    • The Falcons are in Tampa Bay territory…

    • The Falcons get the stop and the ball back, but burn through three timeouts. They take over at their own 20 with 1:14 left and three points left to score.

    • INTERCEPTION: Bucs gets the pick on 4th and 15

      The Falcons go at it and…Kirk Cousins ​​throws a pick at Lavonte David. Atlanta still has three timeouts, but the Bucs are pretty much in here.

    • We’ve reached the two-minute warning, with the Falcons on a 4th-and-15 and 80 yards from the end zone. Will they go for it?

    • TURNOVER: Falcons recover a Bucky Irving fumble

      Just when things were looking bleak, Jessie Bates knocks the ball out of the hands of Bucs rookie Bucky Irving and the Falcons get it back. The Falcons get the ball back in their territory with 2:50 left and three down.

    • In this situation this cannot happen.

    • Oh, that was a brutal drop from Darnell Mooney. Kirk Cousins ​​throws it wide open on 3rd and 6 and he just whiffs on the catch. And now the Falcons’ 54-yard field goal attempt is blocked.

    • Drake London has eight catches on nine targets for a season-high 110 yards and a touchdown.

    • FIELD GOAL: Chase McLaughlin good from 53 to give Bucs the lead

      The Bucs are back on top while McLaughlin remains automatic. Now we wait to see how the Falcons respond.

    • The 4th down risk pays off with a Falcons TD

      Falcons had the ball well, but stopped at the Tampa Bay 12 after Tyler Allgeier was tackled for a two-yard loss.

      But Atlanta decides to go for it on 4th-and-4 and Kirk Cousins ​​hits Darnell Mooney for a 12-yard touchdown pass. Mooney had the first down, but then turned to shake off Tykee Smith and reached the end zone.

      We are tied 27-27.

    • Tampa Bay 27, Atlanta 20 after 3 quarters

      The Falcons finish the third quarter strong with a 22-yard catch and run by Ray Ray McCloud, followed by a 29-yard dash by Bijan Robinson.

      Atlanta is at the Tampa Bay 46-yard line as the fourth quarter begins.

    • FIELD GOAL: Buccaneers respond with their own FG, but Baker Mayfield could get hurt

      The Buccaneers had little trouble moving the ball tonight. They respond to the Falcons FG with a nine-play, 56-yard drive, but it ends up just shy of another TD. Baker Mayfield also limped off the field after taking a third-down sack.
