Behind two touchdown passes from Tom Brady and some sloppy ball handling by the Falcons, the Bucs jumped out to a 20-3 lead in the second quarter of the regular season finale at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

Brady tossed touchdown pass to Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown. The Bucs also had a 28-yard field goal by Ryan Succop and a 38-yard field goal after recovering a fumble by Falcons running back Brian Hill.

The Falcons stalled in the red zone and had to settle for a 22-yard field goal by Younghoe Koo on their first possession. In a game where they knew they’d need touchdowns, they wasted the 13-play, 70-yard drive.
