One of the NFL's most surprising teams will attempt to keep its perfect record intact Sunday.
With a win over the Lions, the Falcons would jump out to a 3-0 start for just the seventh time in 58 seasons. Youngsters Desmond Ridder and Bijan Robinson led the way in Week 2, combining for 400 yards of offense.
Detroit will attempt to slow Atlanta down after falling to Seattle. Lions coach Dan Campbell will want to see a better showing from his defensive unit, which gave up three touchdowns in the fourth quarter and overtime of that loss.
