Which NFL game is playing tonight? Start time, how to keep track of the NFL schedule for Thursday Night Football, Week 5

Week five of the NFL season begins tonight with a Thursday night matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1) and the Atlanta Falcons (2-2). in a key battle for territory in the NFC South early in the season. Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers are looking to start 4-1 for the second time in the last four seasons and lay the foundation for a fourth straight NFC South title. They go into this duel with a dominant 33:16 win against the Eagles.

Meanwhile, the Falcons are coming off one of the craziest wins of the season against the Saints in Week 4. Atlanta won 26:24 with a 58-yard field goal Younghoe Koo, however, did so without scoring an offensive touchdown.

The Falcons are a new-look team this year, after the head coach was fired Arthur Smith and attitude Raheem Morris, former head coach at Tampa Bay (2009-11). They also signed QB Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract I hope to return to the postseason for the first time since 2017.
