The Atlanta Falcons were on the verge of their second victory of the 2020 NFL season over the Detroit Lions in Week 7 Down two points at the end of the fourth quarter, the Falcons had pushed the ball in the red zone with less than two minutes to go All the Falcons had to do was cut the time and throw a little basket for the win
Instead, the Falcons scored a touchdown by accident This left the Lions just enough time to walk the pitch and score the winning touchdown when the clock expired. Atlanta’s season has been marked by heartbreaking losses, but the 23-22 loss to the Lions could be the worst yet
The Falcons had the ball on the Detroit 10-yard line with 1:12 left on the clock when Todd Gurley took over and broke through the defense Gurley clearly had a touchdown in front of him, but he didn’t want it – he intended to fight on the one-yard line Unfortunately, his body momentum carried him into the end zone:
After Atlanta pulled off the ensuing two-point conversion, the Lions hit six balls on their own 25-yard line with just over a minute to go.
Matthew Stafford reportedly designed an eight-game, 75-yard drive that was capped by an 11-yard touchdown pass on the tight end TJ Hockenson Matt Prater made the extra point to win the game

Only the 2020 Falcons could lose a game like this Atlanta became the first team in the past 20 seasons to lose multiple 15-point or more fourth-quarter leads, and they did so two weeks in a row with losses to the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears earlier this season
Losing a game because you scored a touchdown? The Falcons continue to find new ways to break the spirits of their fans this season
