Falcons come back again beat Buccaneers 28-24
Written by playerpress.com, Monday December 06 2010
The Atlanta Falcons won their sixth straight game on Sunday, and once again they had to come from behind to do it in their 28-24 victory over the divisional rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Matt Ryan once again rallied the troops in the fourth quarter to retain sole possession of first place in the NFC South.
Ryan threw two unlikely interceptions in the game but as usual was his best with the game on the line. Ryan was 18 of 36 for 205 yards and two touchdowns.
Ryan capped off his sixth fourth-quarter, game-winning drive of the season with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Michael Jenkins with 4:31 remaining in the game.
It is the 13th time in his short three year career that he has led a game winning drive in the fourth quarter or overtime.
Kick returner Eric Weems started the comeback from ten points down with a 102-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and Brent Grimes sealed the win with an interception deep in Falcons territory on the Buccaneers final possession.
