5. Mason Foster

Mason Foster left the game in the second quarter with a concussion which kept him out the remainder of the game, but before his injury Foster had three tackles with an interception that he would take 37 yards for a touchdown. Foster’s interception created a massive shift in momentum as the Buccaneers would take a 17 point lead over the Falcons.

This was Foster’s second interception of the season -- the first was against the New Orleans Saints which he also returned for a touchdown. It’s apparent that Foster obviously knows what to do with the ball when he gets it.

Coming into this game Gerald McCoy only had three sacks on the season. Sunday he would double his sack total by getting three additional sacks in just the first half. McCoy had two sacks back to back in the Falcons' opening drive of the game. The Falcons were going into the red zone, but McCoy’s two sacks forced the Falcons to punt on fourth down.

3. Mike Glennon

Mike Glennon had arguably his best game of the season with over 230 yards while going 20-for-23 with an 87 percent completion rate. Glennon averaged ten yards each completion throwing a few deep passes to Vincent Jackson as well as a few 20-yard gains feeding Tim Wright and Tiquan Underwood.

Glennon has stepped up for the Buccaneers, and he may be the guy for many years to come if he can continue to improve his game.

2. Vincent Jackson

Vincent Jackson had ten receptions which ties his career high for most receptions in a game. This is the second time Jackson has had double digit receptions this season. Jackson had a few beautiful catches this game with a nice snag over Asante Samuel for a 47-yard bomb and also caught a fade in the back of the end zone which would add to the Buccaneers' massive lead in the third quarter.

A smart thing about Glennon is that he knows to rely on his play makers, and that is what he has done giving Jackson one of his best seasons in the NFL. Jackson’s career high for receptions in one season is 72, and right now he has 56. As the Buccaneers have six games left in the season it seems that Jackson will surely break 70 receptions.

1. Bobby Rainey

Two weeks ago Bobby Rainey was just some running back that had been cut by both the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns, but after being signed by the Buccaneers Rainey seems to be on top of the world.

Sunday would be a day to remember for Rainey as he would get the ball 30 times, rushing for over 150 yards, and had two touchdowns -- one of which was taken for 43 yards. Rainey is having the time of his life at Tampa right now, and with Doug Martin and Mike James out for the season Rainey will continue to be the go to guy at running back.
