The Detroit Lions withstood a comeback attempt by the Los Angeles Rams to secure a 27-20 overtime win over their former quarterback for the second consecutive season.
Detroit seemed poised to dominate early, but the Rams, led by Cooper Kupp, rallied to take a fourth-quarter lead. The Lions, embodying their trademark grit, managed to tie the game with a field goal, forcing overtime. In the extra period, Detroit drove down the field on their first possession to clinch the victory.
For Stafford, who passed for 317 yards with one touchdown and one interception on Sunday night, it's his second consecutive loss at Ford Field, following the Lions' elimination of the Rams in last season's wild-card round.
