Associated PressDETROIT — Jared Goff faked a handoff, dropped back and lofted a pass to a stunningly open Sam LaPorta. Goff’s tiebreaking 45-yard touchdown pass to LaPorta early in the second quarter sent Detroit to a 20-6 victory over Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in a rebound performance for the Lions. Detroit’s Amon-Ra St. Brown finished with nine receptions for 102 yards and rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs ran 17 times for 80 yards, surpassing the 59 yards he had on the ground through the first two games. Rookie Bijan Robinson had 10 carries for 33 yards and four catches for 27 yards after he had 255 yards of offense in his first two games with the Falcons. “I’m sure they’ll have her back because she killed it.” INJURY REPORT Falcons: RB Cordarrelle Patterson was inactive after being listed as questionable.
