The Lions can suddenly take a lead with a touchdown against the Falcons, but the game has become secondary at this point.
With nine catches for 178 yards, Calvin Johnson needs just 4 more yards to break Jerry Rice’s NFL single-season yardage record of 1,848.
Of course, the Lions had a chance to have him break it on their last drive, but on three goal-to-go plays, Johnson didn’t have one target.
The Lions instead settled for a 20-yard field goal and trail 21-16 with 13:26 left.
