The Falcons were downright pathetic in this football game.  For some reason the Falcons started Byron Leftwich at QB despite winning the last two games with Joey Harrington.  Leftwich played awful before he was replaced as he only hit 15 of 28 passes for 106 yards with 2 interceptions.  Joey Harrington replaced Leftwich and he played well as he hit 16 of 20 passes for 139 yards with 1 TD pass.  Warrick Dunn had a rough game as he carried the ball 15 times for 32 yards (2.1 ypc) and he also caught 8 passes for 40 yards (5.0 avg).  Michael Jenkins had a solid game with 9 catches for 73 yards (8.1 avg) and Adam Jennings only added 2 receptions for 11 yards (5.5 avg) but one grab was for a TD.  The Falcons finished up with 49 yards rushing on 19 carries (2.6 ypc) and they also completed 31 of 48 passes for 226 yards.

The Falcons defense was led by linebackers Keith Brooking (8 tackles, fumble recovery) and Michael Boley (7 tackles).  The Bucs finished up with 149 yards rushing on 31 carries (4.8 ypc) and they also completed 11 of 21 passes for 156 yards.
