Game roundup: Lions march back to edge Falcons
Matt Prater hit a 48-yard field goal on the game’s last play and the Detroit Lions erased a 21-point halftime deficit to defeat the Atlanta Falcons 22-21 on Sunday at Wembley Stadium in London.
Matthew Stafford passed for 325 yards and two touchdowns for the Lions (6-2). Stafford broke Bobby Layne’s franchise record of 118 touchdown passes with his 59-yard, third-quarter strike to wide receiver Golden Tate, who caught seven passes for 151 yards.
Prater’s made field goal came after a delay-of-game penalty against Detroit nullified a missed 43-yard attempt.
Matt Ryan threw two first-quarter touchdown passes but Atlanta (2-6) lost for the fifth consecutive time.
Ryan, who was intercepted once, completed 20 of 27 passes for 228 yards. Veteran running back Steven Jackson added 60 rushing yards and a touchdown for the Falcons, who led 21-0 at halftime.
The 9:30 a.m. ET start was the earliest in league history.
