The Atlanta Falcons played their first game since the sudden departure of head coach Bobby Petrino last week. With Emmitt Thomas at the helm as interim coach, the result for the Falcons was the same that it has been most weeks this season--defeat. The Falcons were blistered at Tampa Bay Sunday afternoon, 37-3. On the third play from scrimmage for Atlanta, QB Chris Redman was intercepted by Ronde Barber, who returned the mistake 29 yards for a touchdown--the Buccaneers never looked back. The Falcons with the loss saw their record fall to 3-11, with only 2 games left in the season.
