Atlanta Falcons vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Storylines

The Atlanta Falcons have been significantly better since undergoing some coaching changes but it seems like they woke up too late this season. Now, they'll be better off planning ahead to next year.

Also, Todd Gurley and Julio Jones have struggled with injuries for most of the year, putting even more responsibility on Matt Ryan's shoulders. And, as you may know by now, he doesn't exactly excel under pressure.

 

Tom Brady has also been quite disappointing during his first season in charge of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offense and there have been some rumors about his poor relationship with Bruce Arians.

The Bucs are stacked on defense and offense but they have been pretty inconsistent still. Also, Brady has been unable to connect in deep passes despite having three elite big-play weapons on Mike Evans, Antonio Brown, and Chris Godwin.
