Catch by catch, Kyle Pitts Sr. put the mistake-prone Atlanta Falcons on his back and carried them to a thrilling comeback victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Zane Gonzalez ’s 43-yard FG gave the Falcons a 29-28 walkoff win at Raymond James Stadium, on the back of Kyle Pitts’ special night — taking three TD catches from Kirk Cousins to keep the Bucs in their sights throughout.

The Falcons could not get out of their own way for most of Thursday night, but they somehow pulled out a 29-28 upset of the Bucs on the final play. Zane Gonzalez's 43-yard field goal was a dagger to the Bucs' playoff hopes.

Kyle Pitts enjoys the best game of his NFL career to help the Atlanta Falcons come from behind and clinch a last-gasp 29-28 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Fontenot has made some good draft picks, including running back Bijan Robinson, and wide receiver Drake London. However, some others have not panned out, and the Falcons defense has been an issue during his tenure, ranking no better than 18th in scoring since 2021.

His interim stint with the Falcons back in 2020 in particular and his growth as a defensive coordinator for the Super Bowl-winning Los Angeles Rams made him a viable head coaching candidate in the 2024 cycle. However, a promising 6-3 start with the Falcons in 2024 gave way to an unfortunate collapse.

The Bucs' stunning collapse to Atlanta puts their playoff hopes in jeopardy despite controlling their NFC South destiny at 7-7. Here are my takeaways.

Week 15 has kicked off after the Atlanta Falcons stunned the host Tampa Bay Buccaneers 29-28 on Thursday Night Football.
