Lions rally to top Falcons. Forzano safe for another week
Detroit coached by Rick Forzano faced a must-win against Atlanta as a late drive and a fake field goal lift the Lions to a 24-10 victory. Joe Reed connected for a 32-yard TD to Ed O’Neil, James Hunter returned an interception for six, and Detroit avoided a firing after owner William Clay Ford’s ultimatum. Meanwhile the Colts edged Cincinnati 28-27 as John Dutton noted seconds mattered to pressure Ken Anderson before Bert Jones topped the game with three TD passes to Roger Carley. Anderson reached 1,500 career passes and briefly held the NFL all-time TD pass mark before his exit. New England, Washington, Chicago, Houston, and other results listed.
