ATLANTA -- KhaDarel Hodge caught a game-winning 45-yard touchdown with 8:45 left in overtime and Kirk Cousins passed for a franchise-record 509 yards as the Atlanta Falcons beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 36-30 on Thursday night.

After Younghoe Koo's 52-yard field goal sent the game to overtime as regulation expired, Cousins found Hodge, who had zero receptions entering the contest, for the game-winner.
