The Detroit Lions kick off their 2024 season just as they kicked off their 2023 postseason: at home, Sunday night, against Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams.
You better believe the Rams have had this game circled on their schedule since it got dropped, as Detroit ended their season early with a tight 24-23 victory in the Wild Card round. The Rams are a young team and hoping their late season surge was just the start of something special (a la the Lions’ 2022 season).
But the Lions have their own score to settle and they have spent all season talking about how they do not plan on getting complacent.
