The Detroit Lions managed an unconvincing victory over the Los Angeles Rams, relying on standout performances from their run and pass game despite a rocky outing from quarterback Jared Goff.
David Montgomery's 91 rushing yards and Jameson Williams' exceptional 121 receiving yards highlighted the game for Detroit. Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson's creative plays generated significant gains, though Goff struggled with accuracy, reflected in his low Pro Football Focus rating.
Despite the inconsistency, the Lions' offense showed promise heading into Week 2 with strong individual performances contributing to their win.
