The Falcons took the opening possession and turned it in to a Michael Turner touchdown after a 13 play, 61 yard drive that methodically marched down the field and chewed up 6:54 of clock.
The Buccaneers were able to move the ball themselves but were forced to punt thanks to a sac of Freeman in Atlanta territory. The Falcons are moving the ball again at the opening of the second quarter, leading 7-0.
