Some NFL fans believe various events from the fourth quarter of the ‘Thursday Night Football’ Buccaneers – Falcons fixture were very suspicious, with one even going on to claim that it was the “most rigged” game of the season.
‘TNF’ games aren’t typically entertaining, but the NFC South teams flipped the script this week, presenting fans with quite the spectacle as it turned out to be a shootout that went down to the wire, with the Falcons seemingly snatching victory from the jaws of defeat yet again.
Both quarterbacks put in stellar performances, but Kirk Cousins won the battle under center as he passed for a franchise-record 509 yards and four touchdowns. Baker Mayfield threw for 180 yards and registered three passing touchdowns himself, but the Bucs’ defense let them down in the end.
Still, fans felt like they weren’t given a fair shot, with one pointing to a missed facemask call that could have kept them in the game late on.
