Vick looks human in loss

Michael Vick came back down to earth and the Detroit Lions took advantage of his ordinary day.

Detroit turned Vick’s two first-half turnovers into touchdowns and Roy Williams had a sensational game, highlighted by a 60-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter, in the Lions’ 30-14 victory Sunday over the Atlanta Falcons.

“I guess we had a little kryptonite for him,” Detroit cornerback Fernando Bryant said of Vick. “The whole key is to stay disciplined, keeping lanes and contain, and that’s what we did with him.”

The Lions pulled off the feat without three starters on the defensive line, including Shaun Rogers.

Vick threw for seven touchdowns and averaged 262 yards passing in the previous two games, both victories, but quickly found out it would not be his day in Detroit.

He fumbled on the Falcons’ first drive and threw an interception from deep in his end in the second quarter. Both led to Kevin Jones touchdown runs.

“It was a major setback for us,” Vick said. “I would have never thought coming into this game that we would have performed the way we did.”

Vick completed 17 of 32 passes for 163 yards -- numbers that would’ve been better had teammates not dropped several balls -- with a touchdown and two interceptions, and he ran for 80 yards.

The game closed with Vick throwing a meaningless interception in the end zone, a fitting end to his frustrating day.

Detroit (2-6) had a balanced attack, led by 2004 first-round picks Williams and Jones. Its defense did not allow Atlanta (5-3) to score after Warrick Dunn pulled the Falcons to within three points late in the first half.
