Bucs try for season sweep of Falcons (Yahoo Sports)

When Tampa Bay opened the season with a 31-24 road victory over the Atlanta Falcons, it was a promising start to Dirk Koetter's head coaching career against a team he and Buccaneers defensive coordinator Mike Smith coached together. "I think they're playing with more confidence, and you would expect that: They won some big games," Koetter said. The Falcons (5-3) have the NFC South lead and quarterback Matt Ryan leads the NFL in touchdown passes (19) and passing yards (2,636), having thrown scoring passes to an NFL-best 10 different players.
