The Atlanta Falcons offense showed life in a thrilling 36-30 win over the Tampa Buccaneers, and safety Jessie Bates III played a crucial role with a key forced fumble.
Justin Simmons emphasized the importance of Jessie Bates' performance, tweeting that Bates was playing at a Defensive Player of the Year level, fulfilling his duties without overshadowing the team's offensive triumph.
Bates has significantly contributed to the Falcons' success this season, showcasing consistency with 37 tackles, an interception, three passes defended, and two forced fumbles.
Despite initial criticism of Kirk Cousins and the offense, he has regained his form, pairing effectively with his defense as the squad sits at the top of the NFC South.
