Week 5 of the NFL season kicks off with a huge clash in the NFC South between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons. The 3-1 Buccaneers can make a big jump in the division race with a win over the 2-2 Falcons and a mini-bye week before visiting the 2-2 Saints in Week 6. The Falcons defeated the Saints last week and were able to get an early lead in the division with wins over both Tampa Bay and New Orleans as the season passes the quarter point.

Baker Mayfield is having a resurgence in Tampa Bay this season, entering Week 5 second in the NFL in touchdown passes and sixth in passing yards. Wide receiver Mike Evans, who was a limited participant in practice Monday and Tuesday with calf and knee injuries, was not listed on Wednesday’s injury report and is expected to be eligible for Thursday Night Football. For Atlanta, offensive lineman Kaleb McGary (knee) and running back Bijan Robinson (hamstring) were full participants in practice on Wednesday after limited participation earlier in the week.
