The Atlanta Falcons trailed by three points with less than two minutes remaining and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had possession of the ball. You’ll never guess what happened next.

After a furious drive to send the game to OT, the Falcons stunned their NFC South opponents with a 45-yard touchdown run from KhaDarel Hodge to win 36-30. Biggest star of the night: Kirk Cousins, who shook off a slow start to his tenure with the Falcons with one of the biggest nights of his career.

The former Minnesota Vikings player finished 42 of 58 for 509 yards, four touchdowns and an interception. He sacked the Bucs on a drive to force OT, then hit them again after the Falcons won the second toss of the coin.

The Falcons’ comeback erased an excellent night for Baker Mayfield, who was 19-of-24 for 180 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. Tampa Bay also combined for 160 yards on 26 attempts. But some late mistakes doomed a team that no longer leads the NFC South.

Here’s how it all went down on Yahoo Sports.

  • Kirk Cousins: 42 of 58 for 509 yards, four touchdowns and a pick, plus the game-tying drive with a minute to go and no timeouts, then the game-winning drive. It’s been a tough start for him, but he made a statement tonight.

  • Touchdown: The Falcons stunned the Bucs in overtime

    KhaDarel Hodge breaks the tackle and finds an opening in Tampa Bay’s defense to steal the win. What an ending, what a game.

  • Uh oh. Drake London had a big win in third place, but was still down after taking a big hit. He was evaluated for a concussion earlier in this game.

    It’s 154 yards away now, but that might be the case.

  • The Falcons win the toss to open overtime and can win it here.

  • The Falcons are called for delay of game, pushing Coe’s attempt to 52 yards. He makes it.

    To overtime we go.

  • Another pass to London gains 15 yards and Kirk Cousins ​​kicks the ball with 1 second left. Younghoe Koo comes in to force OT.

  • Falcons in the Tampa Bay area…

  • The Falcons stop and get the ball back, but they get burned through three timeouts. They would take matters into their own hands with 1:14 remaining and three points to score.

  • The interception: The Bucs get the pick on 4th-and-15

    The Falcons are already doing that and… Kirk Cousins ​​throws a pick on Lavonte David. Atlanta still has three timeouts, but the Bucs are sitting pretty well here.

  • We get to the two-minute warning, with the Falcons facing 4th, 15 and 80 yards from the end zone. Do they go for it?

  • TURNOVER: Falcons recover Bucky Irving fumble

    Just as it was looking grim, Jessie Betts knocked the ball out of the hands of Bucs rookie Bucky Irving and recovered it for the Falcons. The Falcons get the ball back in their own territory with 2:50 left and down by three.

  • This cannot happen in this case.

  • Oh, that was a brutal fall from Darnell Mooney. Kirk Cousins ​​throws it wide open on third-and-6 and he just whiffs on the catch. And now the Falcons’ 54-yard field goal attempt was blocked.

  • Drake London made as many as eight catches on nine targets for a season-high 110 yards and a touchdown.

  • Field goal: Chase McLaughlin good from 53 to give the Bucs the lead

    The Bucs are back on top again as McLaughlin remains automatic. Now let’s see how the Falcons respond.

  • The fourth risk paid off with a Falcons TD

    The Falcons were running the ball well, but were stopped at the Tampa Bay 12 after Tyler Allgaier was tackled for a 2-yard loss.

    But Atlanta decided to go ahead on fourth-and-4 and Kirk Cousins ​​hit Darnell Mooney for a 12-yard touchdown pass. Mooney had a first down, but then turned to get rid of Tyke Smith and reached the end zone.

    We’re tied 27-27.

  • Tampa Bay 27, Atlanta 20 after 3 quarters

    The Falcons finished the third quarter strong with a 22-yard catch and run by Ray Ray McCloud, followed by a 29-yard dash by Bijan Robinson.

    Atlanta is on the Tampa Bay 46-yard line heading into the fourth quarter.

  • Field Goal: Buccaneers respond with their own offense, but Baker Mayfield could get hurt

    The Buccaneers didn’t have much trouble moving the ball tonight. They respond to a Falcons FG with a nine-play, 56-yard drive, but finish with another TD. Baker Mayfield also limped off the field after taking a third sack.
