The Detroit Lions and quarterback Matthew Stafford drove 75 yards in 64 seconds to beat the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Stafford got the opportunity to go down and win it after Falcons running back Todd Gurley scored a touchdown.
The Falcons scored by mistake. They had been hoping to run the clock out and kick a short field goal to win it. The Lions let Gurley score, even though it looked like Gurley tried to hold himself out of the end zone.
The mistake gave the Lions a chance to drive the field and win the game trailing 22-16. Stafford drove down to the Falcons’ 11-yard line with two seconds on the clock after a spike. Stafford then avoided the rush, escaped left and found Hockenson in the end zone with no time left to tie the game.
