Summary

It was a scary scene at the dome in Atlanta tonight. Lions win the game but lose Morice Norris who was hospitalized after hitting his head on the turf trying to make a tackle in the 4th quarter. The Lions and Falcons decided to end the football game right there after Norris was taken to the hospital. Dan Campbell had good news after the game saying Mo was responsive and breathing. Before the injury the Lions saw Kyle Allen step up and Hendon Hooker take a step back. We also discuss the improved play of the defense and D Line.
