With the 2020 NFL schedule release, one game in particular stands out for the Detroit Lions. A Week-Seven matchup could be an opportunity for revenge.

Last time the Detroit Lions faced the Atlanta Falcons, Week Three of the 2017 regular season, controversy flooded the field with a disappointing ending. With eight seconds left, quarterback Matthew Stafford threw what appeared to be a game-winning touchdown to former slot receiver Golden Tate.

The touchdown call went under scoring review and was overturned.
