Los Angeles Rams vs. Detroit Lions, Sunday September 8

After both teams traded field goals to begin the scoring, Gibbs gave the Lions the first lead of the game with a 1-yard touchdown run with one minute, 57 seconds left in the first half.

The Lions took that 10-3 lead into the half thanks to a Kerby Joseph interception in the Lions’ end zone with just 15 seconds left in the half after Stafford had guided the Rams into the red zone looking for some late first-half points.

The Lions increased the lead to 17-3 early in the third quarter on a 52-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff to Jameson Williams down the left sideline. Williams battled through an illegal contact penalty on cornerback Tre’Davious White and still made the touchdown catch.

The Rams battled back, taking their next possession 70 yards in 11 plays on a nearly seven-minute drive capped off by a Kyren Williams 2-yard touchdown run to make it 17-10 late in the third quarter. The Rams converted a 4th & 3 at the Lions’ 29-yard line on the drive.

The Rams made it 17-13 early in the fourth quarter on a 26-yard field goal and then took the lead on a 9-yard touchdown pass from Stafford to wide receiver Cooper Kupp with four and a half minutes left in the game.

Bates tied it late and Montgomery won it in overtime for the Lions.
