- Takeaways from Buccaneers-Falcons | Week 8
- Tampa's run game, Atlanta's third-down play and more notes from Falcons vs. Buccaneers
- The Bucs won Sunday without completing a single pass, a first in the NFL since 1974. Inside all the quirks of a dominating shutout win over the Falcons with 324 rushing yards in the rain. "Every offensive lineman's dream." @NFLonFOX
- Finally, I also regret to inform you that this is only the fifth time the Falcons have allowed 300 yards rushing in a single game. It is indeed the single game record by one yard...with the previous record coming in 2025 against the Colts, when Indianapolis ran for 323 yards.
- It is also the first time in Falcons history that they've played a game where the opposing team completed zero passes, period The lowest number of completions they've ever allowed was 2, back in '73, when they lost 32-10 to the Cardinals and allowed over 240 yards rushing
-
This is tied for the second-longest 100 yard game drought in Bijan Robinson's career at four games.

- This is also only the fourth time the Falcons threw four or more interceptions and got shut out, believe it or not, and the first time since 1987 In that game, the Falcons lost 38-0 to the Saints and Scott Campbell threw five picks
- Inconsistency has been a hallmark of these frustrating Falcons for far too long, and 2026 is bringing more of the same. A team that knocked off the undefeated 49ers was outcoached, outplayed, and outhustled in a monsoon yesterday

LaCale London: Questionable
3 more players listed questionable
- The #Colts worked out several cornerbacks today: Shemar Bartholomew (signed PS) Christian Braswell Natrone Brooks (signed PS) Cobee Bryant Dwight McGlothern Kobee Minor Ambry Thomas
- #Colts worked out Shemar Bartholomew (signed), Christian Braswell, Natrone Brooks (signed) Cobee Bryant, Dwight McGlother, Kobee Minor, Ambry Thomas
- Then there's the Jack Jones issue. The 49ers' fourth CB was pressed into action with Upton Stout still battling that shoulder sprain (bye week will be huge for him)... on a day with poor short-game pass defense AND nonexistent pass rush — so conditions were ripe for Atlanta to pick on Jones, who's been a boom-or-bust corner over his career: 5 targets, 4 catches, 2 penalties, 39 yards — most of which moved the chains. The 49ers should get Stout back at closer to 100% for their next game. That'll be huge in combatting the short game and, by extension, reigniting the pass rush. Like everyone else, I am curious about what other move(s) they can make up front to further that cause — but remember that everything on defense is interconnected
