In a season marred by disappointment, the Atlanta Falcons have finally tasted victory. A stunning 29-28 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, fueled by a franchise-record 19 penalties, has given the team a glimmer of hope. Head coach Raheem Morris is now looking for his team to build on this momentum in their final three games. The Falcons' win was led by tight end Kyle Pitts, who posted the best stats of his professional career with 11 catches for 166 yards and three touchdowns. Pitts has been a subject of concern, with inconsistency plaguing his four-plus seasons in Atlanta. However, his performance in the Buccaneers game has left the team feeling inspired. Quarterback Kirk Cousins also shone in the win, throwing for 373 yards and three touchdowns. With a massive cap hit of $57.5 million looming in 2026, Cousins' final three games could serve as an audition for potential suitors. The Falcons face a tough road ahead, with their next game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. However, with the return of leading receiver Drake London becoming increasingly optimistic, the team is looking to finish the season on a high note. Morris remains hopeful that London will be able to play in the upcoming game, saying 'day-to-day, but more hopeful' about his status. As the Falcons look to finish the season strong, Morris is urging his team to fight and put together a consistent performance. With the team's eighth straight losing season now a certainty, the win over the Buccaneers has given them a much-needed boost. Can the Falcons keep this momentum going and finish the season on a high note?
