Nothing will ever match the Falcons' 28–3 collapse against the Patriots in Super Bowl LI, but Atlanta found quite the creative way to lose once again on Sunday.
Atlanta trailed Detroit 16–14 with just over a minute to play as the Lions called timeout before first-and-goal. The Falcons could have run down the clock and kicked an easy field goal as time expired, though things are never that simple for Atlanta. Todd Gurley scored an unintentional touchdown with 1:04 left, giving Detroit a shot at an improbable comeback. Gurley fell at the 1-yard line, but the ball broke the plane.
