Buccaneers vs. Falcons Thursday Night Football score, live updates: Tampa Bay leads at halftime in NFC South matchup

Week 5 of the NFL season begins with a big clash in the NFC South between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons. The 3-1 Buccaneers can take a big jump in the division race with a win over the 2-2 Falcons and a mini-bye week before visiting the 2-2 Saints in Week 6. The Falcons beat the Saints last week and could grab an early lead in the division with wins over Tampa Bay and New Orleans as the season passes the quarter mark.

The teams went into halftime with the Buccaneers leading 24-17 in a shootout. Baker Mayfield continued his resurgence by going 12 of 15 for 131 yards and three touchdowns in the first half, while Kirk Cousins ​​was 21 of 28 for 253 yards and two touchdowns. Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans also scored the 99th touchdown catch and 100th total touchdown of his career.

Live47 updates

  • HALFTIME: Bucs 24, Falcons 17

    The Falcons punt in Tampa Bay territory after their drive stalled. It looks like the Bucs will enter the locker room with a touchdown and get the ball back to open the second half.

  • TOUCHDOWN: Sterling Shepard scores two days after signing

    Sterling Shepard has been on the Bucs’ 53-man roster for two days and has his first touchdown with the team. His college teammate Baker Mayfield is now 12 of 15 for 131 yards and three touchdowns.

  • This is our third suspected concussion of the game.

  • Big, BIG run for Rachaad White. He got off to a rough start this season but knocked down a 56-yarder on a well-blocked inside run.

  • FIELD GOAL: Younghoe Koo good from 54 yards

    Apparently 50-yard field goals are just a gift in the NFL now. We have another draw.

  • And the call is maintained. Falcons ball, 2nd-and-20, 7:35 left in half, Drake London back.

  • A lot happens in this piece. It’s hard to imagine this turning out the Bucs’ way, but you never know

  • The Falcons could be in for a shootout if they don’t have their best weapon.

  • TOUCHDOWN: Mike Evans scores his 100th TD

    Mike Evans again. It is the 99th touchdown catch of his career and his 100th touchdown overall. It’s also his NFL-best fifth touchdown of the season.

  • Kirk looks good.

  • TOUCHDOWN: Kirk Cousins ​​finds Darnell Mooney on 3rd-and-14

    The Falcons may have lost their No. 1 receiver in Drake London, but they still have Darnell Mooney. He makes a spectacular catch from 25 meters away.

  • Drake London is hit in the helmet and receives an unnecessary roughness penalty. He looked a little misty as he walked to the sideline.
