Technically, the Bucs can still lose and win the division, but the margin for error would be next to nothing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Baker Mayfield hasn\u2019t thrown for more than 200 yards since Week 10. He\u2019s completed under 40 percent of his passes twice since then, and has thrown four interceptions in the previous four games. It\u2019s been ugly. Tonight could be different with Mike Evans back in action and Jalen McMillan making his season debut.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Raheem Morris is a dead man walking, it seems. The Falcons are playing out the string with him and Kirk Cousins. Atlanta won\u2019t have Drake London again. You would think they roll over as they did in the second half last week against Seattle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">That\u2019s not how the NFL works. Generally speaking, these teams with nothing to play for are the most dangerous at the end of the season. Add in the fact that it\u2019s a primetime game and a divisional opponent, and the Bucs are going to get the best shot from the Falcons. It\u2019s going to be an ugly, low-scoring game, likely decided by a field goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 7-6 Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in an essential must-win situation against the 4-9 Atlanta Falcons.
