Coming into Week 9 at home against the Atlanta Falcons, Dre' Bly had yet to record an interception. He changed all that Sunday as he picked off a Michael Vick pass midway through the second quarter that helped put the Lions up 10 on the favored Falcons. Bly intercepted the ball on Atlanta's 10-yard line and returned it the two. Kevin Jones then promptly ran in for a score to put the Lions up 17-7, a lead they would not relinquish, as the final score was 30-14. The interception was Bly's first of the year.
