After the Atlanta Falcons allowed the Detroit Lions to score 17 unanswered points to tie the game for the start of the fourth quarter, wide receiver Taylor Gabriel put his team back on top Sunday.

Opening the final quarter at the Lions' 40-yard line, Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan found Gabriel below the line of scrimmage for a short pass. Gabriel then went untouched to the goal line, diving into the end zone before finally being hit by a Lions defender on his way to the ground.

The score was Gabriel's first of the season and Ryan's second of the day.
