Tampa Bay vs Atlanta Recap

Atlanta won the game against Tampa Bay with 27 - 21 Sunday and take exclusive possession of first place in the NFC South.

TB: J. Freeman 11-21, 189 yds, 2 TDs, 1 INT
ATL: M. Turner 24 Rush, 107 yds, 2 TDs

Michael Turner ran 107 yards and two touchdowns and the Falcons (6-2) in compensation after Roddy White went out after a knee injury. Tony Gonzalez had eight catches, and undrafted rookie Michael Palmer made his first career Touchdown.

Ridge was certainly against their own goal line when the Buccaneers (5-3) drove to Atlanta 2 with less than 3 minutes, facing fourth-and-1. Josh Freeman simulated handoff to Ryan Purvis, tight end lined up was a defender, and then gave it to run LeGarrette Blount for the right to intervene.

But safety Thomas DeCoud stuff charged up slowly emerging to play, and Coy Wire Blount finished to make sure that he could not reach the first down.
