Detroit Lions vs. Atlanta Falcons: Start time, TV, radio, injury report

With the Detroit Lions set to take on the Atlanta Falcons in week 3 of the 2017 NFL Season, here is all the important info you need for today’s game.

It may only be week three but we’re about to learn a lot about the 2017 Detroit Lions. It is no big surprise the Atlanta Falcons enter today’s game 2-0 but that the Lions join them as another of just the three NFC teams to do so may be.

In a way, the Lions have little to lose. It’s a game no one would have marked down as a win when the schedule was released, and many would have taken a 2-1 start if it had been offered before the season began. In addition, they would be no worse than tired for the division lead through three weeks.
