Published on September 18th, 2014 4:55 pm EST
This week's Thursday Night Football game will see the Atlanta Falcons play host to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a crucial NFC South game.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter this game with a 0-2 record and with their season already standing in the balance. The Buccaneers dropped two close contests at home (20-14 Carolina, 19-17 St. Louis) and can ill afford to drop to 0-3. The team has been rattled by injuries but desperately needs to pull things together to notch a victory on the road tonight.

The Atlanta Falcons, on the other hand, are 1-1 after two games and need a victory to try and keep pace with the Carolina Panthers.
