Gary Klein covers the Los Angeles Rams for the Los Angeles Times.
🏈 Lions 26, Rams 20 — FINAL DETROIT — A remade Rams defense played the Detroit Lions tough through four quarters on Sunday night. But they could not stop the Lions in overtime. Jared Goff drove his team 70 yards in eight plays and David Montgomery scored on a one-yard touchdown to send the Rams to a 26-20 defeat before 66,530 at Ford Field.
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford passed for a touchdown, running back Kyren Williams scored a touchdown and veteran safety John Johnson III had a key interception, but that was not enough. It was another heartbreaking loss for the Rams and Stafford, who lost here, 24-23, last January in an NFC wild-card game. Stafford, who played his first 12 seasons in Detroit, completed 34 of 49 passes for 317 yards and touchdown, with an interception. But Goff, for whom Stafford was traded in 2021, outdueled him again, completing 18 of 28 passes for 217 yards. It was a costly defeat for the Rams in more ways than one. Wide receiver Puka Nacua and offensive lineman Steve Avila left the game because of knee injuries, offensive lineman Joe Noteboom an ankle injury.
