Falcons vs. Buccaneers result: Kirk Cousins ​​throws four touchdowns, leading Atlanta past Tampa Bay in overtime

The Falcons defeated the Buccaneers 36-30 in overtime on “Thursday Night Football” on a walk-off touchdown by Kirk Cousins ​​to Khadarel Hodge to win 36-30. The Buccaneers were ahead 30-27 with one second left in the game, but Falcons Younghoe Koo forced overtime with a field goal.

He originally went on the field to make a 47-yard field goal, but a delay in the game turned it into a 52-yard throw. The kick was good and the Falcons give themselves a chance to win this game as we go into overtime.

The Falcons were first on the field thanks to a pass from Kirk Cousins ​​to Drake London, and the Bucs responded immediately as Baker Mayfield found a wide-open Mike Evans in the end zone, tying the game at seven.

The Bucs defense didn’t play on the first drive, but found its footing the next time around, sacking Cousins ​​to force the Falcons to settle for a field goal that ended up sailing wide left.

Tampa Bay’s second offensive attack also ended with a field goal attempt – a successful 53-yard kick that gave the Bucs their first lead of the game, 10-7, but it didn’t last long.

Cousins, who already has 253 passing yards through two quarters, found Darnell Mooney for a 25-yard TD to give Atlanta the lead back. However, no lead is safe tonight as less than two minutes later, Evans’ 100th career touchdown gave the Bucs the lead.

It was a big night for Evans, who also passed Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin (11,904) to rank 30th for the most receiving yards in NFL history.

Wideout Sterling Shepard scored the Bucs’ third touchdown of the half to make Tampa Bay 24-17. There was only one punt in the first half, which came from the Falcons on their final drive of the second quarter.
