At 7-6, the Buccaneers really need a win to keep their lead over the also 7-6 Carolina Panthers. Meanwhile the 4-9 Falcons have since turned things over to veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins in the last month following a season-ending injury to quarterback Michael Penix Jr.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Tonight\u2019s game doesn\u2019t carry the same glitz it appeared to hold early in the season, thanks mostly to Atlanta\u2019s woes. That matters not, as every NFL game holds football fans\u2019 interest, and you can never be sure when something dramatic might unfold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">What about Buffalo Bills rooting interests this evening? Nothing to be found, right? Buffalo did face both these teams already, having squared off with the AFC South in 2025. So if you\u2019re looking for a reason to cheer on one side, go with the Buccaneers since a win by Tampa Bay improves the Bills\u2019 Strength of Victory (SOV) score and tiebreaker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Are you ready for some primetime football? Here\u2019s your open thread for all of tonight\u2019s action on TNF. As always, be kind to one another \u2014 and in all things\u2026 Go Bills!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Week 15 of NFL action begins tonight, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosting the Atlanta Falcons for an&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":80768,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[26931,135,137,136],"class_list":["post-80767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-buffalo-bills-discussion","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80767"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80767\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
