A nail-biting final drive ended in a game-winning touchdown for the Detroit Lions, who even their record at 3-3.

The last time the Detroit Lions faced the Atlanta Falcons, they came up just short of a win in the waning seconds. This time, they took care of business, evened their record, kept building momentum in 2020.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford found tight end T.J. Hockenson for an 11-yard touchdown grab as time expired and the Lions escaped with a dramatic 23-22 victory over the Falcons in Georgia on Sunday.
