Los Angeles Rams Vs Detroit Lions FULL GAME | NFL Today 2nd-Qtr | NFL Highlights | NFL 2024 Season

it has been so far third and two for the Lions and Jared gof who's protected throws inside incomplete trying to get it to amanra St Brown it's Fourth and short and this is Detroit nobody goes for fourth down since Dan Campbell's been here as often as the Lions and they're going to keep with their profile keeping the offense on the field no surprise to anyone and I don't think I think maybe Dan's making a statement yeah didn't go so well in the championship game we missed a couple of them but we're not changing you see the analytic data they'll run it inside while govern just put his head down using the lineman po through and gets the first down inside the 25 yd line and isn't it interesting how Bobby Brown nose tackle for a ride there fake to St Brown G throws wide open it's a tight end Sam leapa good move in the open field leapa to the 10yd line first down with the seconde man second round pick out of Iowa where else so here's where the motion comes into play there's a return motion here burs and goal touching the 10 GF play action throws it out to St Brown made a man miss am Ross sa Brown to the six driven back on a good tackle by Troy reer so I'm in ra St Brown [Applause] not we second and goal Montgomery good job on the Edge by Michael Hoy the linebacker and big linebacker too at 270 lbs out there who wasn't going to let him get by yeah he was over 300 lb at one point when he came in the league but of course they take jar and everybody said Michael Hoy maybe not get to play quite as much but he certainly has been out there thus far in this one and it's a mix and match with this defense Thea lone receiver bottom of the screen GF looked that way scans through back to the end zone Lea couldn't bring it [Applause] down davius white was back there you see the intention the Rams gave leapa in the end zone for travius white who knew what he was going to be able to do K's entry right there in perfect POS first one for Jake Bates those his preseason numbers open eyes kicking in the UFL in this building with the Michigan Panthers in Spring league and he knocks in his first career field goal energy downtown with the teams all here at a four block radius this is those bouncing kicks to hits in the Target zone so has to be returned and the Rams bring it out to the 21 yd line that's where their Drive will begin two new tackles that are playing for the Rams in this one Stafford protecting his guys 13pl drive mostly through the air last time this one starts in the 22 be Nea on the ground with Cooper cup and another receiver Demarcus Robinson blocking and a good first down gain on the ground for the second year man from BYU NOA yeah and we're just starting to see little bits Mike of what we saw in that game in the playoffs last year which is all the motion nobody does motion to their advantage better than the LA Rams do and what we've seen so far is the beginning of that process and they're reading how the lions are reacting to it Ronnie Rivers the third year man out of Fresno State is the running back as Kiren Williams gets this drive off and it's Rivers Running to the right very close to the first down marker at the 32 yd line go to Jackson the former lion who's playing center for the Rams is's trying to pull him through and he does for a first down yeah and we were wondering whether or not it was going to be Blake corm right the draft pick out of Michigan much loved around here win a National Championship but I think Ronnie Rivers probably a little more advanced in the passing game and usually what you hear out of that position is does he know all the protection schemes that they have to protect the [Applause] franchise stord fakes it to Rivers slinging on the side cannot be brought in by Parkinson incomplete pass he will bring up second down Melissa down the sideline yeah Mike it is very loud in here when the Rams are on offense so we're seeing a lot of communication happening on the sidelines Matthew Stafford showing the tablet to his tight end saying be ready for this showing it to his offensive lineman giving a thumbs up saying perfect love that and having very detailed conversations with paa with puka nikua and Cooper Cup on what they're seeing this is such a complex offense with motions just uh adjusting something with Adrien Hill the referee please reset the play clock to 25 thank you got the game with play clock set properly before second and 10 with gives time for more of that noise bista talked about will be Rivers Running To the Left good blocking downfield including Cooper cup to get the first down everybody to the left in a wall of white clears the way for rivers and that's how you take care of Aiden Hutchinson right there you get one of these outstanding rece and Demarcus Robinson was in on that one as well that that's part of being a Rams receiver you're in motion you block Le play clock and Stafford forced to take his first time out 5 minutes into the quarter all even at three we're back in 30 seconds after this from AWS out of the timeout first and 10 for the Rams this their third Drive play 20 on the night Stafford the straight drop here going inside TOA whose knee came down with the first anzelone Contact at the 48 yd line just about seven yds for NCA so Mike here's what's going on they're using the motion to dictate what they can do against this [Applause] defense emotion's going to take the hand off around the edge Hinson couldn't get away from the offensive line blocked by Joe Noteboom and it's another first down on the ground this time cup getting it boy that is some block by Joe Noteboom on the outside getting that hook blocked that is not easy to do suspended for a couple of games for violating the lead's personal conduct policy no and Jackson were close anyway in terms of who would play that left tackle spot Stafford on first down reloads Cuts back to the middles into Thea hit hard around the 33 yd line by Kirby Joseph but another good gain on first down and the Rams offense Matthew Stafford's confidence is growing in note boom and McLendon because in the first drive he wasn't going to a second right out right out now he's going if he doesn't like the first one he's pulling it down stepping up and finding number two his confidence is growing well it's Tyron Williams back in the game in the first down is Aiden Hutchinson makes the tackle for Detroit and the Rams continuing to move it on the ground yeah he had his uh how about this he is proving that he can play anywhere so good in the slot last year and now play in the safety position Tyler Johnson the receiver setting up in the slot at the bottom of the screen just constant motion from these receivers Stafford nothing open is aping Davenport and flings it out of bounds an incomplete as Marcus Davenport play his first five years with New Orleans an addition to this Lions team as an edge rusher third and 10 and Stafford throws underneath n who has got it ranchon just touch him down there Stafford took a shot at the back end of that play and here is a scene you've seen at Ford Field many many times Matthew Stafford pulling himself off the ground and getting up see was a complete pass and now the clock has been restarted they got the right ball in cuz they're not going to kick it they're going to go for it meantime puka AA was also given a moment to get to the sideline fourth and four maybe they're going to go for it they do and Stafford Waits fires and it's broken up at the last second Carlton Davis the acquisition from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers they trade it for him he comes up with a big at home in the postseason in 32 years there's Matthew Stafford the former Lions number one overall pick getting that ankle taped after we showed you what happened to him when he was knocked down by Aiden Hutchinson lions take over golf play action that middle of the field thr Jameson Williams takes off through the secondary Out of Bounds at the 40 yd line it's a pick up of 37 over 1500 yards receiving in college and if he gets anywhere close to that form him again play action again G taking the Home Run shot down field waves trying to come across and track it he couldn't right back to him it was incomplete Chris you talked about that Ace in position for a huge year here Gibs the back pressure comes it's Gibbs with a screen with blocking GS to the 26 yd line for number 26 15 on the gain first down Detroit so this game's been a little slow developing right so you get the ball in the hands of your speed [Music] s Williams on the reverse with three blockers inside the 20 Jameson Williams takes it to the 12 yd line for a first down and he got tangled to the bottom of his leg on that play and he stays down in the Lions athletic training staff out to check him out after the running gain of 13 country and is committed to LSU Jameson Williams was not running we're going to re said walked off the field and there he is after getting his ankle taped meantime Stafford was being looked at Naka was being looked at on the Rams offense and Joe Noteboom their offensive tackle was just taken off in a cart so offensive injury issues that we'll get you updated on the game clock to 453 the play clock is at 34 both clocks will start on my signal when we get back to the Rams meantime the Lions on the Run Chris by Williams have first and 10 at the 14 yard yard line and we're seeing the speed of this Lions offense now kicking into gear and that's when it can get really exciting because this powerful offensive line still has the ability to just drive you off the ball if you get too soft and try and protect the edge K it and kill kill kill kill here we go here we go set we get to a run with Gibbs who CS it back to the left side jir Gibs good dance for that first tackle to make a Miss get to the six Mike did you hear that it was kill kill and why was it because they had a they got to a gain of eight Jameson Williams back in the game for Detroit Gibs inside run pulled down by Bobby Brown with a gain of a yard third and one we approach three and a half here in a low-scoring first half and jir Gibbs for all the speed that we talk about with him he really has been such a weon running inside I think that teams tend to look at him and go oh we got to protect the edge he's going to outrun us to the edge and his opportunities come inside to cheer for the announcement that 70 Dan Skipper is [Applause] eligible we got to quit doing it's more sixth offensive lineman jerseys in this building than any other in the lead third and one GS bouncy now looking for space and put his head down to get the first down G is trying to use that speed to stretch it but Chris it was almost like that inside running paid off there and you don't you can't do that in this league every time first and goal from G looking up top to his tight end Brock rights got two to the one as we get close to the two-minute warning right the tight end at of Notre name who had one touch down last year San Francisco liked him made an offer on him Detroit matched that offer and right is back here with the Lions and it may not be fair but you'll get made fun of if you don't score on that player right there just so you know there you go has it happened to you before Oh many times the Lions here Maria second and goal from the one and he'll turn it give it and his gives inside turning and twisting let the ball go at the goal line let they going to call here was Gibbs down did he fumble they're saying down and third down in the clock running for now like Troy reer kind of stripped it out was down by contact third down he's close to the goal so jir Gibbs has scored from a yard out the shoulder is the first body part down before the helmet before the shoulder comes down so just by inches if maybe less it's a the touchdown and the Lions take the lead and the first extra point added by Jake Bates makes it 103 Detroit with a minute 57 you said earlier Mike wide receiver pukaa he was in the medical town for about 10 minutes Rams in their last couple of plays of their last Drive banged up remember uh puka nula had the knee entury in Camp and they thought he was doing fine and back and maybe just aggravated that those Dynamic kickoffs one was a Touchback the second one was an effective one on the ground and Jordan wington had a pick up as it was rolling this one's into the end zone will be a Touchback and the Rams will take over at the 30 yd line an interesting start with long drives the last couple of drives of these has been these new cornerbacks for the Detroit Lions have done a pretty good job that was always sort of the Achilles heel out there for that team and if they get that part right you're seeing Aaron Glenn their defensive coordinator much more confident calling manto man defense is now High everybody and it's been if you're a lions fan that is significant Teran Arnold the rookie Carlton Davis the veteran kyen Williams runs here for the Rams gains three timeouts for Detroit two for the Rams so AJ arui is in at right tackle spent six years at Michigan State played a couple of years ago had one start it was against the Chiefs his eight games of NFL experience and here he is thrown in in the state where he went to college gain of four block turns minute 20 to go Davenport offside for Detroit free play for the Rams as Williams brought down Mark as Davenport in the neutral zone early what was second and six will become second and one offside Defense number 92 5y penalty remain second down and Mike you just wonder how limited this offense might be now I mean they are down three tackles that's right they would like to play with and don't forget that Jonah Jackson just moved from left guard to Center and Steve aala went from Center to left guard so this offensive line is all over the place right now second and one they're going to turn and run it again Williams inside going to get the first down and more Derek Barnes who had the interception to end the divisional playoff win over Tampa makes the stop minute left got a first first down in this two-minute drill and now Stafford will hop into maybe something with some passing the man rush for Detroit scafford in the middle it's broken Up Inside by another player who we didn't include in our Corner conversation amek Roberts free agent from the Raiders yeah and what that did Robertson got into the slot which allowed Brian Branch to go back and play the safety position we haven't even talked about their first round draft pick Terry and Arnold number zero out there and we've already seen Carlton Davis with a big break up on fourth down for so a big difference now in this lion secondary and they went after it aggressively with free agency they went after it in the draft they knew they had to get better in the back end second and 10 Stafford retreating and throws at a limited completion of just a yard flaged down back by the quarterback Aiden Hutchinson hits Stafford [Applause] personal foul roughing the passer Defense number 97 low hit that 15 yd penalty will be added to the result of the play automatic first down yeah this is what you can't do struggling to mount some offense could give him a chance to get a field goal here before the half Up In Motion Stafford throw it complete Parkinson down the sideline Kobe Parkinson with a big game that penalty is going to hurt the Lions and help the Rams pick up of 20 to Parkinson it's a great job they want NOA on the field he is on the bench in his first and 10 Rams two timeouts in 37 seconds Tyler Johnson in as that third receiver and Stafford hit by Hutchinson escapes FPS it out to to Williams who gets about eight yards before anzelone brings him down and Shawn mcy runs out to get the timeout with 28 seconds to go till halftime I don't know how you're going to play aruri over there against Aiden Hutchinson all day that's where they're going to line them up you're going to have to chip you're going to have to help nobody the tight Chris they they can chip they also do that with their receivers often don't they they do because they're very good although who knows if pukaa is not going to be in the lineup but somebody has to realize the situation now I mean you are down to your third left tackle and you just oneon-one on the outside with eight tches 29 seconds one time out for the Rams throw that that way it's cup out of bounds line with a creek combo they are the whole Breakfast Club they get up to 6:00 a.m. they're in there cups watching tape with Stafford they're on the same page as much as any Duo once again that motion Mike is really motion man Zone and he's going right to the first read it's really it's fun to watch him just manipulate what's happening on the defensive side first and goal touchdown Stafford scanning fires thrs it out of the back right in this game he blew that one he did not see the cover two man it looked like manto man everywhere assignment and for whatever reason Stafford just did not see that read again super rare they're the only team in the league that didn't up with the interception you know what usually when you get a two-man coverage what do quarterbacks do in this league they run because you have people chasing in two deep safeties but because Stafford got hit early in the game maybe he felt like wasn't an option about 15 seconds and G for some reason is throwing and he's brought down and sacked I'm going to get the ball start the second half anyway that that's good but Jared M had a chance to get that ball
