The Falcons lost Ryan on the first series of the game to a toe injury.

Redman completed 23 of 41 passing attempts, threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns including the game winner to Roddy White with two minutes left in the game.

Buccaneers QB Josh Freeman had a strong effort in the loss.

Freeman threw for 250 yards and two touchdowns in his interception-less performance.
