Rams vs. Lions live updates, score: Sunday Night Football begins with a rematch of last season’s playoffs

It’s time for the first “Sunday Night Football” game of the 2024 season, and the storylines are running out for the Los Angeles Rams-Detroit Lions matchup at Ford Field.

The Lions won their first playoff game in more than three decades in January, beating the Rams 24-23 in Detroit. Matthew Stafford, who spent the first 12 years of his career with the Lions, returned to Detroit for the first time as an opponent. The Rams lost to Jared Goff, who had led them to a Super Bowl appearance in 2018.

Both offenses are expected to be explosive with two talented veteran quarterbacks, and there could be fireworks tonight at Ford Field. The game caps off the first Sunday of NFL action, which saw Miami narrowly escape Jacksonville at home and Chicago pick up a win in Caleb Williams’ first start in the early window.

Week 1 concludes with the New York Jets visiting the San Francisco 49ers on “Monday Night Football.”
