Will the Rams defense be able to slow down tight end Sam Laporta?

The Los Angeles Rams will kickoff the NFL season on Sunday Night Football against the Detroit Lions. With high expectations, both teams will be looking to start the season with a win. The Rams and Lions last met in the NFC Wild Card round when Detroit won 24-23.

In that game, tight end Sam LaPorta was injured but still managed to score a crucial touchdown on fourth down in the red zone. LaPorta will be healthy this time around and is someone that the Rams will certainly be looking to contain throughout the game.
