Matt Ryan ran and threw for touchdowns to give Atlanta a double-digit lead in the first half, and the Falcons held on to win 23-16 in Detroit. Calvin Johnson caught his 10th touchdown pass late in the third quarter—to pull the Lions within four points—and finished with five receptions for 115 yards.

Atlanta’s Tony Gonzalez caught five passes for 62 yards, giving him 1,104 career receptions to trail only Jerry Rice in NFL history—by 445 catches.

The Lions (5-2) have lost two straight—both at home—after their perfect start.

Detroit’s Maurice Morris and Keiland Williams combined for 94 yards on 18 carries, filling in for Jahvid Best, who was out with a concussion.
