How to watch and stream NFL Thursday Night Football Week 5 games live online for free without cable: NBC, Amazon

The team sits in second place in the NFC South, just behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers – and tonight the Dirty Birds have a chance to clinch the top spot. To do this, however, the team's offense has to wake up.

Quarterback Kirk Cousins ​​has had more turnovers than big plays so far this year, and running back Bijan Robinson hasn't had a chance to truly shine despite his obvious talents. Tampa Bay, meanwhile, has put in solid performances, which should make this matchup either an epic battle or an embarrassing blip for Atlanta.

Here's how to watch this week's game and what to expect from Thursday night's games tonight (and in the coming weeks).
