The storyline
The upstart Bucs have struggled against tougher opponents and the Falcons have a vital chance to fortify their shot at the top seed in the NFC.

Why you should watch
This is a do or die game for Tampa Bay. Mike Williams might be able to test an iffy secondary deep if Josh Freeman can buy time. The Falcons could have the most balanced offense in the NFL.
