This year also marks the 15th anniversary of the attacks that killed almost 3,000 people in New York City, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Penn. He finished with a passer rating of 122.6. They were similarly flustered by running back Charles Sims’ cuts and spin on his 23-yard scoring pass from Winston.

Desmond Trufant is hands down one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. Atlanta committed seven penalties accounting for a total of 74 yards. In previous years, Matt Ryan was also considered in the second or third tier of starting quarterbacks, but last year really brought about some questions about his quality of play.
Jameis Winston threw four touchdowns pass to prevail in a passing duel with Matt Ryan and Tampa Bay defeated the NFC South-rival Falcons 31-24 on Sunday. Doug Martin got his check in the offseason and looks to make it very evident that he earned it. Martin has over 400 yards and 4 touchdowns on the ground in five games against the Falcons in his career (including the game where he suffered a season ending shoulder injury). However, Atlanta had to settle for a field goal after Ryan was sacked by Robert Ayers on third down. Jones didn’t have that catch until the 9:47 mark of the second quarter. He was hurt covering a punt in the first quarter.
Ryan is 7-for-8 for 90 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions.
The former Heisman Trophy victor then hit Mike Evans in full stride on a 45-yard bomb to complete a 92-yard march that gave the Bucs three touchdowns in as many possessions and an 18-point advantage. The game is tied 10-10 with 10:25 left in the second quarter. “He’s getting thrown right in there right from the get-go”.
Sanu, signed from the Bengals to be Atlanta’s new No. 2 wide receiver, had five catches for 80 yards.
Linebacker Kwon Alexander leads the team in tackles with eight. The Buccaneers rallied after trailing by 17 points and completed a sweep of the season series with another close, comeback win in Tampa one month later.
Winston has 268 yards and 4 TDs. To do so, Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman, and the offense have to consistently be able to produce.

Buccaneers at Falcons could be a prequel to the race for a wildcard slot out of the south. “That’s one of the things that always comes into consideration when we’re playing on the road is, “How much no-huddle will we do?'” The Bucs” projected tempo increase is one of the best reasons to believe in a fantasy breakout for Jameis Winston, but it sounds like the offense will slow down on the road.
Seferian-Jenkins said Winston is the league’s “best quarterback and I’m happy to have him”.
Koetter continues to work closely with Winston.

“They just tried to take me away early on in the ballgame”, Jones said. We know exactly how good he is because we to see him every day in practice. Tampa is also wanting to get as much production as possible from wide receiver Mike Evans and the coaching staff believes more of a barnyard style of play could lead to him reaching the level he played at during his past year with Texas A&M.
