With five weeks left in the 2023 regular season, every game is important. But this Week 14 match between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons could very well decide the NFC South champion and a home playoff game.

Atlanta (6-6) holds the edge with a one-game lead over Tampa Bay (5-7) and a head-to-head win earlier in the season. But that advantage could shift should the Buccaneers find their groove at the end of the season. Both teams are coming off wins against bad opponents, too, so confidence is likely at an all-time high this late in the season

These teams are almost identical in terms of seasonal statistics. The Buccaneers have the 23rd-ranked offense and 10th-best defense, while the Falcons have the 24th-ranked offense and seventh-best defense. 

Not much separated the two sides the last time they placed each other in Week 7, either. Atlanta eked out a 16-13 win in Tampa Bay thanks to a last-second field goal from Younghoe Koo. Only two touchdowns were scored in that contest, both of which came in the first quarter: a two-yard run from Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder and a 40-yard touchdown pass from Baker Mayfield to wide receiver Mike Evans.

Here's what you need to know about Sunday's Week 14 clash between the Buccaneers and Falcons, including broadcast information and start time.
