The Los Angeles Rams will have to travel to cold and snowy Michigan to take on the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The Rams had an extra week to prepare off the bye while the Lions had a couple of extra days of prep after playing in Thanksgiving.
Entering the season, the Lions were thought to be a sleeper pick with an explosive offense lead by QB Matthew Stafford and his trio of wide receivers in Golden Tate, Marvin Jones Jr., and Kenny Golladay. Armed with all the offensive talent and “genius” coach Matt Patricia to revitalize the defense, some thought the Lions would surprise.
