Live updates: Lions lead Falcons 7-0 on Swift's TD run

Lions take 7-0 lead on Swift's touchdown run

The Lions take over at the 26 after forcing a three-and-out. It's their second drive of the game after going three-and-out on their first drive.

Matthew Stafford throws an absolute dart to T.J. Hockenson over the middle on first down, a 16-yard pickup that'll give the Lions a first down at the 45 of Detroit.

Stafford looks for a deep ball to Marvin Hall on the next play, but it's a touch overthrown. Adrian Peterson only gets a yard on second down. Stafford has good protection on third down, steps up, and hits Marvin Jones over the middle for a 23-yard gain as the Lions are firmly in Falcons territory.
