Falcons lose another tight one, show no signs of breaking free from frustrating pattern
ATLANTA — The final play summed up the entire day for the Atlanta Falcons. “We should’ve come out of there with the win,” Ridder said, “but obviously we didn’t.” The Falcons came in with a.500 record that was good enough to lead the NFC South. Atlanta appeared in good shape again with Tampa Bay facing third-and-10 from the Falcons 47, only to have Mayfield hook up with Chris Godwin on a 32-yard pass — the Bucs’ longest play from scrimmage all game. Two plays later, with the Falcons focusing on top receivers Godwin and Mike Evans, Cade Otton broke free from safety Richie Grant and hauled in an 11-yard touchdown pass with 31 seconds remaining. “There’s a lot of things,” the ever-optimistic Ridder said, “we’re gonna clean up and get better from and come out better on the back end.” ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
