After allowing the Detroit Lions to go right down the field and take the lead, the Atlanta Falcons followed suit with a few big plays of their own late in the second quarter of Friday's preseason opener. Quarterback Easton Stick connected with wide receiver Chris Blair for a touchdown to help the Falcons retake the lead before halftime.

The fumble was made when Hooker tried to escape the pocket and was met by linebacker Josh Woods, who got a hand to the football to pop it loose before it was promptly recovered by

Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins won't be in action against the Detroit Lions on Friday night, giving Easton Stick and Emory Jones a platform to showcase their ability.
