Thursday Night Football this week will see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play the Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia. The Buccaneers are still looking to claim their first win of the season, having lost their opening two games in Weeks 1 and 2.
Today's big Thursday Night Football game will start at 8.25 p.m. EST and can be watched on the CBS and NFL Networks. The game can also be watched online through live stream – free for subscribers – via the link provided below.
This is a big divisional match up, with the Falcons knowing if they can dump their rivals to 0-3 then they would have a significant advantage right from the start of the season.
Both of these teams lost in Week 2, with the Falcons' loss dropping them back to 1-1. They will want to get back to winning ways right away, and will be confident of doing so, playing at home in the Georgia Dome.
The short turnaround following their defeats is also a good thing, as both teams can get back on the saddle and try and put things right. Especially for the Falcons, the manner in which they were demolished by the Bengals' offense was demoralizing, and rather than letting that feeling fester, it is certainly better to get right back out on the field and try and claim the win that can let them put the loss behind them.
Meanwhile, the Buccaneers have a number of injuries to compete with, and most feel that they might have trouble defending and holding back the strong Falcons' offense tonight.
As long as the Falcons stick to their game plan, they should be able to claim the win tonight, but the Buccaneers will be desperate to avoid falling to a third straight defeat to open up their season.
