The Detroit Lions will kick off their 2024 season with a fitting opponent in the Los Angeles Rams, who they defeated in the playoffs just eight months prior.
The two teams will face off in the first “Sunday Night Football” game of the 2024 season, and there are several big matchups to keep an eye on:
Alim McNeill vs. Jonah Jackson
They faced off against each other in practice for three seasons, and now Alim McNeill and Jonah Jackson will be going head-to-head on game day. Jackson, a former Lions third-round pick, joined the Rams and is slated to be the teams’ starting center for the beginning of the season.
