Can the Atlanta Falcons maintain their momentum after a thrilling 31-26 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Host Aaron Freeman breaks down why the Falcons reached a turning point for their season with their Week 8 win. With a 5-3 record, including a 4-0 record in the NFC South, the Falcons are set up for a nice run down the stretch, but it will never be easy with this team. The Falcons also saw a turning point in this game thanks to a favorable call from the officials on a Kyle Pitts touchdown in the first half.

Later, he breaks down Kirk Cousins' success and why the Falcons defense struggled despite the Bucs being without their top passing weapons in Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. Finally, discusses the potential impact of injuries to Chris Lindstrom, Ruke Orhorhoro, and Micah Parsons on upcoming games.
