The Detroit Lions’ battle with the Los Angeles Rams in last year’s Wild Card round was one of the more exciting and tense games of the year. The 2024 sequel certainly did not disappoint. It took overtime to decide the Week 1 tilt, but thanks to a coin toss and an imposing run game, the Lions emerged victorious and now sit at 1-0 to start the year.
Yet despite the victory, it was far from flawless. If the Lions want to make another deep postseason run, they will need to perform better than they did on Sunday night.
