Live updates: Lions force Rams to punt on opening drive

LeGarrette Blount finds a hole on first down and gets to the 13-yard-line on first down for a gain of 9. Blount's able to bounce it to the outside and pickup 2 yards to move the chains on second down.

Three Rams defenders get in Matthew Stafford's face on a first-down screen pass, forcing his throw just out of the reach of Blount. Stafford fakes the handoff and hits Levine Toilolo on the next play for a gain of 10. Ndamukong Suh made the tackle, which brings out the boo birds at Ford Field.

Blount is stuffed by Suh for no gain on second down.
