Buccaneers vs. Falcons Thursday Night Football Score, Live Updates: Tampa Bay leads at half in NFC South clash

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.

The teams went into halftime with the Buccaneers leading 24-17 in a shootout. Baker Mayfield continued his resurgence by going 12-for-15 for 131 yards and three touchdowns in the first half, while Kirk Cousins ​​was 21-for-28 for 253 yards and two touchdowns. Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans also scored the 99th touchdown catch and 100th total touchdown of his career.

Live48 updates

  • Strange game. Baker Mayfield scrambles and runs out of bounds just shy of a first down, but gets hit as he goes out and picks up the flag. However, the officials raise the flag so the Bucs will punt on the first drive of the second half.

  • HALF TIME: Bucs 24, Falcons 17

    The Falcons punt in Tampa Bay territory after their drive comes to a halt. It looks like the Bucs will make their way into the locker room via a touchdown and get the ball back to open the second half.

  • TOUCHDOWN: Sterling Shepard scores two days after signing

    Sterling Shepard has been on the Bucs’ 53-man roster for two days and has his first touchdown with the team. His college teammate Baker Mayfield is now 12-for-15 for 131 yards and three touchdowns.

  • That’s our third suspected concussion of the game.

  • Big BIG run for Rachaad White. He’s off to a tough start this season, but breaks down a 56-yarder with a well-blocked inside run.

  • FIELD GOAL: Younghoe Koo good from 54 meters

    Apparently 50-yard field goals are just a gimme in the NFL now. We still have a draw.

  • And the call is accepted. Falcons ball, 2nd and 20, 7:35 left in the half, Drake London back.

  • A lot happens during that part. Hard to see this going the Bucs’ way, but you never know

  • The Falcons may face a shootout without their best receiving weapon.

  • TOUCHDOWN: Mike Evans scores his 100th touchdown

    Mike Evans again. It is the 99th touchdown catch of his career and his 100th touchdown overall. It’s also his NFL-best fifth of the season.

  • Kirk looks good.

  • TOUCHDOWN: Kirk Cousins ​​finds Darnell Mooney on 3rd and 14

    The Falcons may be down their No. 1 receiver in Drake London, but they still have Darnell Mooney. He makes a spectacular catch from 25 meters away.

  • Drake London gets hit in the helmet and gets an unnecessary roughness penalty. He looked a little foggy as he walked to the sideline.
