LONDON - The second kick was the only one that
mattered.Matt Prater missed a 43-yard field goal
attempt with 4 seconds to go, then got another chance
because of a delay-of-game penalty. He nailed that one
from 48 yards, giving the Detroit Lions (6-2) a second
straight comeback victory, 22-21 over the Atlanta
Falcons (2-6). Detroit trailed 21-0 at halftime Sunday
at Wembley Stadium in the earliest start in NFL
history.I knew Prater was going to make it. I played
two years with him before, Lions cornerback Cassius
Vaughn said. When he missed the first one I was like,
That was just the practice swing. The second one was
cake.Praters winning kick was the first made field
goal from between 40 and 49 yards this season for
Detroit. If not for the penalty, it wouldnt have
happened because he went wide right on the first
attempt.I was just like, Dang it, and then I started
looking and going, Oh, oh, OK, Lions receiver Jeremy
Ross said. I was just like waiting to see what
happened. Is he getting another kick or what? When he
made it, it was fire.Matthew Stafford led the way for
Detroit with 325 passing yards and two touchdowns.
Those two scores gave Stafford 120 touchdown passes, a
Lions record, two more than Hall of Famer Bobby
Layne.But it was Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan that
looked like he would be the star in the first half,
completing 14 of 17 passes for 160 yards and two
touchdowns. Clock management problems, a penalty and a
dropped pass doomed the Falcons at the end, however.
Ryan finished with 228 yards and threw an interception
in the second half.The Falcons had the ball and
control of the game at the two-minute warning, but
couldnt run off much time after a holding penalty and
Julio Jones drop. Atlanta punted with 1:38 to go.With
the ball on the Detroit 7, Stafford hit Golden Tate
for 32 yards. The Lions got another first down on a
pass to Theo Riddick for 20 yards, and Stafford later
threw to Ross for another first down.We dont give up.
We keep fighting. We believe in what we can do. We
keep pushing, Ross said. We keep driving, keep
fighting, we dont stop.As the clock wound down, it
came down to Prater, something Detroit would have
rather avoided.From beyond the 40 and inside the 50,
Detroit had been 0 for 7, and Prater, the teams third
kicker already, was 0-1.The win was Detroits second
comeback win in two weeks. The Lions rallied to beat
the Saints last Sunday.For the Falcons, the blown
halftime lead was tied for the biggest in Atlanta
history. And the Falcons have now been outscored 70-7
in the fourth quarter their last six games.This is as
tough a loss to take as any that Ive ever been a part
of, Ryan said. We had a lot of chances to win that
ballgame. Its just that we didnt make plays when we
needed to.Both teams have a bye next week, giving each
time to get healthy. The Lions hope star receiver
Calvin Johnson will be back to face Miami on Nov. 9.
Johnson has missed three straight wins since
aggravating his right ankle injury on Oct. 5.Prater
kicked a 22-yard field goal in the third quarter, and
Tate made it 21-10 with a 59-yard reception from
Stafford.In the fourth quarter, Prater kicked a 20-
yarder and Stafford later hit Riddick for 5 yards and
another touchdown to make it 21-19. Detroit went for
2, but Staffords pass eluded Tate.The Lions came in
with the leagues top-ranked defence, but Ryan picked
it apart early with relative ease. He completed 5 of 6
passes on the opening drive for 64 yards, culminating
in a 7-yard touchdown pass to running back Devonta
Freeman.Later in the first quarter, Ryan hit Bear
Pascoe from the 1 and it was 14-0. The touchdown came
one play after a 20-yard pass interference call when
Darius Slay impeded Roddy White in the end zone.Steven
Jackson also scored for Atlanta (2-6), running in from
the 1 moments after becoming the 19th player in NFL
history to rush for 11,000 yards.It felt good in the
first half, we were hitting and stopping them, said
Falcons cornerback Desmond Trufant. Then the second
half, I dont know what happened. We didnt put our foot
on the gas.Sunday was the second of three regular-
season NFL games this year at Wembley, the home of
Englands national soccer team. Miami beat Oakland 38-
14 on Sept. 28, and Dallas will face Jacksonville on
Nov. 9.The game started at 1:30 p.m. in the British
capital, which is 9:30 a.m. on the East Coast and 6:30
a.m. on the West Coast.NOTES: Stafford is also one of
only three quarterbacks since 1966 to overcome 21-
point deficits three times as a starter. Tom Brady and
Drew Bledsoe are the others, according to the Lions.
... LaAdrian Waddle was inactive for Sundays game, one
week after getting a concussion late in the comeback
win over the Saints. Although Waddle was injured on an
extra point attempt, he was on the field for the final
play of the game when Stafford took a knee.___AP NFL

Throwback Braves Jerseys . Thats exactly what
happened. And they enjoyed every moment. Durant
remained sizzling with 33 points, Serge Ibaka added 22
and the Thunder roared back from an abysmal start --
they trailed 22-4 early -- to embarrass the Miami Heat
112-95 on Wednesday night, erasing that big deficit
out of the gate by outscoring the two-time defending
champions by 43 points over a 33-minute span.
