Bowles said the Bucs defense missed a lot of tackles Thursday, which was evident when Cousins took the Falcons 46 yards on nine plays with no timeouts in 1:14 to set up Younghoe Koo’s game-tying 52-yard field goal as time expired to send the game into overtime.

Tampa Bay gave up 509 yards passing and four touchdowns to Kirk Cousins, including a 45-yard touchdown strike to KhaDarel Hodge in overtime that gave Atlanta a 36-30 victory

After leading for most of the game, they let a huge opportunity to establish themselves atop the NFC South slip through their fingers.
