Bucky Irving’s 107 rushing yards and Atlanta’s three interceptions define a lopsided first half.
Tampa Bay takes a 9-0 halftime lead after Atlanta’s three interceptions stalled its offense. Bucky Irving has piled up 107 rushing yards, helping the Buccaneers gain 146 on the ground to Atlanta’s 73. The Falcons have managed 97 total yards, four first downs and 0-for-6 on third down; Michael Penix Jr. is 2-of-10 for 24 passing yards. After the break, Atlanta must protect the ball and find a passing rhythm, while Tampa looks to keep leaning on Irving after committing one turnover of its own.
