A win is a win — especially when it puts you in first place of the NFC South.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Atlanta Falcons 29-25 on Sunday in what was a rough close game, with the Falcons failing to connect on opportunities and the Buccaneers managing to come out with the victory with almost 200 less yards overall in the contest. The win put the Bucs at the top of the division, leading many Bucs fans to rejoice — and for many others (especially in the national media) to make fun of it.

Baker struggled all game, then stepped up huge with throws to Godwin and Otton. Hes been bad today, but mentally he’s tough as nails

Even with that Zyon phantom DPI call by the zebras – another awful display by them – we overcame!
Helluva comeback drive by Baker!
Defense played huge!

BAKER MAYFIELD, CLUTCH AS EVER AT ATLANTA. POST BRADY, NOBODY IS BETTER LATE IN CLOSE GAMES THAN BAKER. BUCS TAKE THE DIVISION LEAD.

Not sure there is any logical reason why the Bucs would put Devin White back on the field. K.J. Britt and J.J. Russell have both been better.
