First quarter (Falcons 0, Bucs 3)

#Falcons have done a good job taking away the initial running lane on this drive, but there hasn't been anyone in the cutback lane to clean up the tackle.
— William McFadden (@willmcfadden) November 26, 2017

Falcons run defense needs to clean up after allowing 6.7 yards per carry on the first drive.
— Scott Carasik (@CarasikS) November 26, 2017

Doug Martin running well -- has run for three first downs on opening drive. First down at Falcons' 24.

Murray connects from 36 yards out to put TB on the board first.

Nice adjustment against the run by Atlanta’s defense on this series. #TBvsATL

Falcons run defense has been much better the past 2 drives.
— Acuña Matata (@ATLSports404) November 26, 2017

A quick 3 and out for the Bucs to begin the second quarter.

We will start the drive at our 40 after a nice return from Roberts. pic.twitter.com/zdwhe2kF2z

Mohamed Sanu Sr. is a better QB than anyone the Browns have started in the last decade.
— Stephen Amell (@StephenAmell) November 26, 2017

Mohamed Sanu just tossed a 50+ yard TD to Julio Jones. This is not a typo.

Every once in a while Julio Jones has one of those games that reminds us he has a skill set unlike any other receiver on the planet.
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) November 26, 2017

Julio Jones now has his 38th career 100-yard game. He's one away from tying Roddy White's #Falcons record.

Second quarter (Falcons 17, Bucs 6)

PI called on CJ Goodwin as he was guarding DeSean Jackson. Trufant playing inside at nickel with Poole out.

Falcons defense:
First drive: 5.7 yards/play allowed
Since: 1.9 yards/play allowed
— Mike Conti (@MikeConti929) November 26, 2017

After questionable opening drive, #Falcons defense has really clamped down
— DW the Drinker (@FalcoholicDW) November 26, 2017

Besides the greatness Julio Jones has put on display in the first half, Atlanta’s defense has been strong & has given the Falcons offense more possessions. Important to note. #TBvsATL
— Kelsey Conway (@FalconsKelsey) November 26, 2017

3rd down STOP!

The defense holds strong to force a Bucs FG.

Second quarter (Falcons 20, Bucs 6)

Dan Quinn has spoken of the importance of being able to "stack" scores and really put pressure on opposing teams. They've got the ball here with 1:30 left and will get the ball in the second half. This is exactly what he wants. #Falcons
— William McFadden (@willmcfadden) November 26, 2017

Desmond Trufant is being evaluated for a possible head injury, return is questionable. #Falcons
— Kelsey Conway (@FalconsKelsey) November 26, 2017

Julio Jones now has the most receiving yards through his first 90 games in NFL history. #Falcons

How much fun are these Falcons receivers to watch today?! Mohamed Sanu showing his physicality on the first down play. #TBvsATL

Brian Poole will not return to today's game. #Falcons
— William McFadden (@willmcfadden) November 26, 2017

Tevin Coleman finds the endzone! And the offense comes out firing to start the 2nd-half!
— Weñdy Adams (@wendyradio) November 26, 2017

@TecoRaww TOUCHDOWN FOR THE TWINS!!!! pic.twitter.com/4rbUWZi86J —  Scotty Too Hotty  (@LupusDei19) November 26, 2017

What a drive by Atlanta’s offense! Tevin Coleman finds the end zone, 9 plays for 78 yards on that scoring drive. Falcons take a 26-6 lead.

— Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) November 26, 2017

Desmond Trufant OUT for the remainder of the game with a concussion.
— Weñdy Adams (@wendyradio) November 26, 2017

More O.J. Howard, open for big gain across midfield. Score a TD here, it's somehow a one-score game before the fourth quarter ...
— Greg Auman (@gregauman) November 26, 2017

Took the #Bucs long enough. O.J. Howard with a nice catch & run
— Tom Krasniqi (@TKras) November 26, 2017

Peyton Barber's second TD of the day followed by a fumble recovery from Brent Grimes make it a one-score game in ATL https://t.co/MpqKT0zaRR pic.twitter.com/0Am5Xp3Vf5

When in doubt... go to Number 11! pic.twitter.com/vrb0F5F1Ke
— Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) November 26, 2017

Terron Ward was heading for the end zone and fumbles the ball. Tampa recovers and returns it 37 yards to the 42. #TBvsATL
— Kelsey Conway (@FalconsKelsey) November 26, 2017

Terron Ward was really coming along. This game is about to get wild now. #TBvsATL

Fourth quarter (Falcons 34, Bucs 20)

Takk McKinley with Falcons' first sack. His fourth of the season.

TAKK MCKINLEY WITH A SACK!!!! That's the first sack of the game.
— DBN Fanatics (@DBN_Fanatics) November 26, 2017

Keanu Neal and the defense make a BIG fourth-down STOP! pic.twitter.com/nc1OWf6Uls
— Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) November 26, 2017

Allen and Neal come up with huge stops on third and fourth down to bail out #Falcons, who take over on downs at their own 20 after preventing #Bucs from turning fumble recovery into any points.
— Arthur Arkush (@ArthurArkush) November 26, 2017

This is Julio Jones' third career game with 250-plus receiving yards. No other active player in the NFL has more than one. #Falcons
— William McFadden (@willmcfadden) November 26, 2017

.@Teco_Raww will not be stopped! He gets around the edge for a 14-yard @AtlantaFalcons TD! #InBrotherhood pic.twitter.com/Lkc1xS5X7f
— NFL (@NFL) November 26, 2017

And there's the dagger. Tevin Coleman scores his 2nd rushing touchdown of the game. #Falcons getting some insurance points now leading 34-20 lead with 1:53 left. #Bucs need a miracle...#TBvsATL
— John Sabol (@John_Sabol) November 26, 2017

IDK if I've ever seen @Teco_Raww run angrier and hungrier than he did today. ran through tackles and found great lanes all day.
— Scott Carasik (@CarasikS) November 26, 2017
