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.

Another Fan Felt Like Buccaneers – Falcons Game Was Scripted For An Atlanta Victory

Another fan posted a video showing the game-winning touchdown in overtime, suggesting that Tampa Bay purposely played no defense despite how easy it would have been to make a tackle when KhaDarel Hodge cut through like a hot knife through butter to give Atlanta the win.

Someone else felt like the game’s final moments were too good to be real.

“Cousins spikes the ball with one second left —-What a script,” they wrote.

In any case, Cousins is giving the Falcons a great return on their investment. And they already have another highly-rated QB waiting in the wings.

They must feel good about both the near and long-term future.
