DETROIT — Though the Rams received strong offensive performances from quarterback Case Keenum and wide receiver Kenny Britt, they could not get enough defensive stops and fell to the Lions, 31-28. With the loss, the Rams are now 3-3 on the season.
The Lions got off to a fast start offensively, driving down the field in eight plays for a touchdown on their opening possession. Quarterback Matthew Stafford connected with wideout Golden Tate for a 34-yard screen pass that brought the Lions down to the Rams’ seven-yard line. Then Stafford hit wide receiver Marvin Jones in the left side of the end zone for a touchdown, giving Detroit an early 7-0 lead.
