    Detroit Lions linebacker Jamie Collins (58) signals "touchdown" as Atlanta Falcons running
    back Todd Gurley tries to stop short of the end zone to control the final minutes of the clock
    in the fourth quarter of an NFL football game Sunday, Oct. 25, 2020, in Atlanta.


    Todd Gurley saw a tantalizing path to the end zone and couldn’t help himself.

    He tried to fall down, but it was too late.

    Gurley landed on the goal line for a touchdown that, as it turned out, led to another stunning loss for the Atlanta Falcons.

    Detroit let Gurley score with just over a minute remaining to get the ball back, giving Matthew Stafford enough time to drive the Lions to the winning TD as time expired Sunday.

    Stafford connected with T.J. Hockenson on an ad-libbed, 11-yard scoring pass and Matt Prater, pushed back by an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, nailed a 48-yard extra point kick to give the Lions a 23-22 victory.
