How to watch Falcons – Lions preseason Week 1 tonight

Tonight marks the return of Atlanta Falcons football. Yes, the stakes are far lower than with a regular season game, many starters won’t play, and the quality of football is likely to be grim. It still counts!

If you’re tuning in tonight, here’s what you’ll want to know about when and how you can catch the game, whether you’re local or tuning in from a long way away. Let’s hope the Falcons leave the evening healthy and feeling good about their team!
