The Falcons have yet to win a game in Atlanta in 2021. This will be their last opportunity to do so before the calendar crosses over to 2022. Did they beat a Lions team missing their best running back and their starting QB? Read on to find out.
First quarter
After Cordarelle Patterson returns the ball to the Atlanta 20, the Falcons offense starts with Matt Ryan being sacked because life is pain. After Patterson loses one yard on the 2nd down pass, Ryan connects with Kyle Pitts for 13 yards and the first. Mike Davis picks up 3 on the ground and Ryan is sacked again for a 3 yard loss.
