Anemic Lions Lose 34-21 To Falcons


First year starting Running Back Michael Turner broke a franchise record with 220 yards and rookie quarterback Matt Ryan was stellar in his debut as the Falcons beat the Lions 34-21 Sunday.

The Lions not only lost the game…but resorted to outbursts on the sideline…with Quarterback Jon Kitna and Wide Receiver Roy Williams screaming at receivers coach Shawn Jefferson before settling down just before halftime. Matt Ryan completed his first NFL pass for a 62-yard-touchdown…

The same old Lions…dropped their record since 2001 to 31-82 overall. Next week the Lions welcome the Green Bay Packers into Detroit for the Lions home opener.
