NFL Scores Week 15: Atlanta Falcons Get Past Tampa Bay Buccaneers with FG in Overtime

Michael Turner rushed for 152 yards and a touchdown, Matt Ryan threw for 206 yards and Jason Elam booted a pair of field goals including the game-winning 34-yarder in overtime to lift the Atlanta Falcons (9-5) past the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-5) 13-10 to remain in the chase for NFC playoffs.

Atlanta built a 10-0 lead in the first quarter on a field goal from Elam and a one-yard touchdown run from Turner but the Buccaneers scored in the closing seconds of the second quarter when Brian Griese hit Antonio Bryant on a 20-yard touchdown pass to put the score at10-7 at halftime.

Both offenses struggled in the second half but the Bucs took advantage of a blocked punt late in the fourth quarter that eventually set up the game-tying field goal from Matt Bryant to force overtime.

The Bucs won the toss to take possession in the extra frame but the Falcons defense held and Atlanta turned to Turner to chew up yards and put Elam in position for the game-winner. With the win the Falcons jumped into the final spot for the NFC playoffs but the Dallas Cowboys could take that spot if they beat the New York Giants in their Sunday night game.
