Led by Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, star wide receiver Julio Jones and the rest of the Atlanta offense, we will likely see that unit break out for a big week on Sunday to wrap up the year.
On the side of Tampa Bay, it has also been fairly dominant on the offensive side of the ball going into the divisional showdown on Sunday afternoon in Tampa Bay.
The Buccaneers, led by quarterback Jameis Winston and company, rank third in the NFL in total yards per game (402.5) in 2019, while ranking first in passing yards per contest (310.1) and 25th in rushing yards per game (92.3) going into the regular-season finale.
In Week 17 on Sunday, we will likely see two stellar offensive units continue to let the ball fly through the air and find success in their respective passing games to wrap up the regular-season schedule.
