Two NFC South teams kick off Week 5 in the NFL, as the Atlanta Falcons host Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both teams are coming off of victories, as Younghoe Koo hit a 58-yard game-winning field goal to down the New Orleans Saints, 26-24, while the Buccaneers blew out the Philadelphia Eagles, 33-16.

This series has also been incredibly close, as three of the last four meetings have been decided by six points or fewer. The Falcons are playing in their third prime-time game in five weeks.
