Detroit Lions Vs. Los Angeles Rams [WEEK 1] FULL GAME [1st - Qtr] highlights | NFL Season Today

with a great move on the outside watch him spin back to the inside but so far Matthew Stafford very smartly because of what's going on up front with his offensive line is hitting his first Target almost every throw you're not seeing him go to looks two or three he's seeing what he wants throws it or gets it out of his hands he is not going to let this crowd Go Crazy by giving up sacks Stafford nine of 11 to start the 19 take to Williams Stafford now incomplete Davis Allen the tight end who had a couple of catches in the wild card game couldn't put in no Tyler higgy for the Rams he tore his ACL when he was hit by Kirby Joseph in this game last year and Chris speaking of this game last year that was the story in the Red Zone Rams didn't get it in it's exactly right they got three times down inside the Red Zone and couldn't score a touchdown and the game was so close there's no other way to say it that's what decided the football game cuz the Lions went three for three got one Reds up just one run thus far in the game Stafford to the air for the 13th time or sacked brought down by Levi oque after the pressure from the new acquisition Marcus Davenport so here's what this is It's a race right now can the pressure get there or can Stafford get the ball to his first receiver across the field they were a little messed up on the back end on that one there was nobody to that side if he had a half a tick longer I think it would have been a touchdown across the field there to Tyler Johnson but not available need to get to the nine for a first down Lions brings four there a flag to kill the pl it'll be third 23 false start offense number 71 5y penalty remains third down that's Warren McLendon he's a seconde man fifth round pick out of Georgia he's starting cuz Rob havenstein is out tonight yeah I see what he trying to catch yeah yeah I'd start a little little bit early too all right it's been a great drive for the Rams they've done a lot of things right no worse than coming out of here with a field goal attempt a sack though probably drives you out of that see if the Lions bring some pressure to try to make that happen havenstein on the right who's out and McLendon in his place making his first NFL start the 23 they're just going to run it it's Karn Williams TR to get some yards to the 23 try to make a little bit easier field goal attempt it's the first NFL field goal attempt for the rookie out of Stanford Joshua cardi who was an outstanding kicker on the farm for the Cardinal taken in the sixth round 23 of 27 last year didn't miss a kick year before that in the 61 y in the big game against Cal so guys got confidence this is NFL first field goal attempt from 41 and cardi knocks it through for his first across the street here off Woodward Avenue that's Ethan Evans the puncher doing the kickoffs he kicks it all the way back the Lions will take it at the thir against thiser former Bengals coach been in the business for quite some time knows Shawn McVey for a long time as well first time as defensive coordinator lions run against that defense with David Montgomery it's maybe three yards to about the 33 yard line rahee Mars Chris was the defensive coordinator now the head coach in Atlanta and Chris julelah takes over yeah and it's it's really sort of interesting isn't it but he was definitely qualified coached at every level of the defense and ready now jir Gibbs first touch of the Year seconde Speedy back for the Lions gains five bumped out of bounds by cam curl yard short of the first down for Detroit jir Gibbs first round pick out of Alabama big rookie season 11 total touchdowns and over 1200 yds from scrimmage yeah 27 explosive runs LED this team and he really is the flashy one and I think we're going to see a lot more of Gibbs in the passing game this year as well of course teams up with David Montgomery in the back field and they basically split carries a smile because as you were saying that they announced Dan Skipper is eligible The Tackle comes in big hit but Montgomery spins to keep it alive and gets that hard first down at the 41 yd line course last year the Lions had the issue with the tackle eligible in the game in Detroit meantime pan Su the L's best offensive lineman was slow to get up and limps back to the Huddle as you look at Dan Skipper that was the game in Dallas where the controversy report or not so anytime he does report the crowd cheers saying [Applause] that first first down of the season for the Lions and Goff swing it out be backwards pass with a flag down as Montgomery gets to the 46 where he's tagged by the linebacker tryer and Adrien Hill had a mic open and he had the flag he threw it illegal use set of hands hands to the face Defense number zero 5yd penalty from the previous spot automatic first down TCH on 15 to the man with the sack earlier yeah he's had a hot start to this game as well and uh up to the face mask and maybe two times three times we're seeing so far though I really was wondering how the Rams were going to play defense right under Chris schula what were they going to do without Aaron donnald what are they going to do without their linebacker Ernest Jones and what we've seen is basically they've been staying in a fiveman front line and there was some question how comfortable were they going to be with their two inside backers Troy reer and Christian roseboom without Ernest Jones who was sort of the counterpart uh of Aaron Don a lot of times he was the Blitzer so Donald would go one way and you would see Ernest Jones the other way blitzing the back and that was kind of the main stay of their defense tacked on the penalty yardage so first down from the 49 Montgomery stumbl that as it made his cut still it's a gain of seven to the 42 of LA with Troy reer one of those linebackers making the Stop and what's so important about this Mike if you remember how the playoff game started last year it started with the lions running like seven yards eight yards bang bang bang and then they were able to get to the part of the passing game that they absolutely love with jarro G and that's in the middle of the field he works the middle of the field about as well as anybody playing the game right now hey only one pass attempt so far for go it's Montgomery dancing in that left side get hit at the Third but a first down after Jared bur the first round pick for the Rams was waiting to knock him down really is fun to watch these backs set up these runs and you can tell they were trying to slam in from the edge position and we've got a lot of excited people out here right Bren Fisk a rookie Jared verse a rookie some plays but the patience of a runner like David mcgomery paid off there sight we didn't think we'd see this year Ben Johnson still with the Lions head coaching interviews in the off SE again Montgomery runs to the yd set up jar rookie this season 38 years old Atlanta Carolina
