Despite having to play extra time to get a tough win, the Lions exited the Rams game in very good shape and there are no medical concerns for me at this time. Here are my initial thoughts on players that may have suffered injuries during the game, along with the time stamp for the injury.

The Lions sure made it interesting Sunday night. After losing a 17-3 lead, the Lions rallied to force overtime and then won the game on the first possession of overtime.

When Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford took the field before Sunday night’s game in Ford Field against the Detroit Lions, he was greeted by the fans with a familiar cacophony around Michigan these days. “Ja-Red Goff! Ja-Red Goff!” It’s quite a turn for Stafford, the longtime Lions quarterback and owner of nearly every statistical passing record

It’s Jamo time! Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams got on the scoreboard in Detroit’s Week 1 matchup on Sunday night.
