Detroit defeats Los Angeles 26-20 in overtime thriller

2024-09-09 14:45:04

David Montgomery’s 1-yard touchdown run in overtime propelled the Detroit Lions to a home victory against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. Montgomery finished with 91 yards, complementing his backfield partner Jahmyr Gibbs’ 40 yards and a score.

The Lions move to 1-0, while the Rams drop to 0-1.

Detroit led much of the game thanks to Gibbs’ rush, a 52-yard touchdown reception by receiver Jameson Williams and two field goals by Jake Bates, a rookie kicker making his NFL debut. Bates drilled a clutch 32-yarder with 17 seconds left to send his team into extra time.

Lions quarterback Jared Goff finished 18-for-28 passing with 217 yards, one touchdown and one interception. While the night was big for Williams, star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was notably quiet, with three catches for only 13 yards.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was 34-for-49 passing for 317 yards, one touchdown and a pick. His lone score came late in the fourth quarter on a 9-yard pass to Cooper Kupp that put L.A. ahead until the final seconds.

Stafford played the second half without star wideout Puka Nacua, who was ruled out with a knee injury.
