Thursday Night Football on December 11, 2025, spotlights an NFC South rivalry as the Atlanta Falcons (4-9) travel to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-6) at Raymond James Stadium. Tampa Bay hosts in their iconic Creamsicle uniforms, honoring 50 seasons with retro flair, special fan giveaways, and halftime tributes to the Bucco Bruce era.
The Bucs, clinging to first place despite a 24-20 stumble against New Orleans last week, lean on Baker Mayfield’s precision passing and Rachaad White’s ground attack to rebound.
Atlanta, lost in a 1-7 skid, turns to Kirk Cousins’ veteran presence and Bijan Robinson’s explosive runs, eyeing a split in the season series after their earlier win and potentially spoil the Buccaneers’ dominance over NFC South.
