FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- When Jeff Okudah was traded to the Atlanta Falcons earlier this year, he didn’t realize they would be playing the Detroit Lions. Let alone in Detroit.
And the schedule hadn’t come out, so he didn’t know it’d be the first road game for Atlanta, either. And yet, Okudah is heading back to Ford Field, where he spent the first three years of his career, and he’s at least curious about it all.
“I think as a competitor, you naturally have a game like this circled,” Okudah said.
