NFL Week 8 "Early Slate" Recap in "A QB DRIVEN League" DIRTY BIRDS down right "Dirty" in the wrong way in this one! #DETvsATL #LionsNation #RiseUpFalcons

Everything looked good as Mike Smith and his Falcons looking to get back into the NFC south race was looking real good in the 1st half. With Falcons QB "Matty Ice" at the controls the Falcons went up and down the field on drives of 10 plays 80 yds, 6 plays 56 yards, and a dozen plays covering 89 yards capped by a Steven Jackson 1-yd TD run making it 21-0 Rise Up! Only problem was Rise Up though the game was over and was headed back to London Heathrow International for that red-eye back to Atlanta Hartsfield International and boy were they wrong!

The Lions left for the "Sunday Dead" came out in the 2nd half restoring order and energy and made it more than just a ball game. Led by FG Matt Prater and WR Golden Tate the Lions scored 10 points in the 3rd making it a 21-10 Falcons lead. Rise Up and lead man Mike Smith had to be thinking as bad as things have been here we go down that dark alley.

Prater started the 4th off with another FG making it 21-13. On the ensuing Lions drive after the Falcons punted it back to "Restore the Roar" Lions QB Stafford takes the Lions 69 yards on thirteen plays for a Theo Reddick 5-yd TD pass making it 21-19 as the Lions two-point conversions failed.

The Falcons could sustain a drive to run the clock out as the Lions get the Wilson pigskin back with 1:38 to go in the 4th and final frame and drives 63 yards on eleven plays for a Matt Prater 48-yd game-winning FG as time expired for a 22-21 Lions "W". If those Mike Smith believers were still on board they just jumped off the Titanic 404!

Lions move to 6-2 while the Falcons misery continues falling to 2-6. Lions QB "Staff" threw for 325 yards on 24 for 47 for two TD's and INT. Lions WR Golden Tate hauled in seven pigs for 151 yards with Theo Riddick grabbing eight pigs for 74 yards and a score.

Falcons QB "Matty Ice" was 20 for 27 for 228 yards and two TD's and an INT. Rise Up RB Steven Jackson running on an 1/8 of a tank of 87 octane ran for 60 yards on eighteen carries and a score. Julio and Roddy of the "Peach Drop 3" Rise Up Edition combined for 124 yards on nine grabs but noting in the Lions end zone!
