The last of them was a 53-yarder that put the Buccaneers ahead 30-27 with 10:23 remaining.The Falcons tied it with a gutty fourth-down call by coach Raheem Morris early in the fourth quarter.After Tyler Allgeier was thrown for a 2-yard loss on third-and-2, the Falcons didn't even consider a field goal from the Bucs 12.
