The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are making a playoff push, riding a 4-game winning streak. They have an opportunity to make a statement in Week 12, with a visit by the NFC South leading Atlanta Falcons.
The Bucs are coming off an overtime victory against the Carolina Panthers, a game in which quarterback Josh Freeman threw three touchdown passes, including a 15-yarder to Dallas Clark to win the game in overtime. Three of Tampa Bay's victories during the streak have come on the road.
Atlanta, who lost their first game to the Saints in Week 10, got back in the win column with 23-19 win over the Arizona Cardinals last weekend. While the victory moved Atlanta to 9-1, Matt Ryan threw five interceptions, and the Falcons have been criticized for their poor play in the last two games.
