The Atlanta Falcons will look for their first true home win of the season when they play the Detroit Lions. The Lions are 0-5 in Atlanta while the Lions are 0-6-1 on the road. At 6-8 overall, the Falcons are trying to protect their slim playoff hopes. The Lions may be without quarterback Jared Goff, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday. Goff could still play if he clears the NFL’s new protocols. A player to watch for the Lions is running back Craig Reynolds, who ran for a career-high 112 yards in last week’s shocking win over Arizona.
