Five things to know about the Falcons on Friday

Here are five things to know about the Falcons on Friday:

1. Offensive line test. The revamped right side of the Falcons offensive line will get tested by the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

2. Takk attack. Rookie Takkarist McKinley appears ready for an expanded role on the defense with defensive end Vic Beasley out with a hamstring injury.

3. Campbell to rush more. Falcons linebacker De'Vondre Campbell recorded his first NFL sack against the Green Bay Packers.

4. Stafford of the Falcons. Here's what Matthew Stafford had to say about the Falcons during his weekly press conference with the Detroit media.

5. Where to watch, listen to the game. The Atlanta Falcons (2-0) are set to face the upstart Detroit Lions (2-0) at 1 p.m. Sunday at Ford Field.
