[Mike FF Today 661]

Inactives -

Rams: S Jordan Fuller, WR Tyler Johnson, RB Zach Evans, OLB Ochaun Mathis, LB Troy Reeder, OL Warren McClendon Jr.

Lions: WR Kalif Raymond, S Tracy Walker, OLB Julian Okwara, OLB Charles Harris, CB Steven Gilmore, DT Brodric Martin, QB Hendon Hooker (emergency QB)

Line: DET -3.0

Sounds like Sam LaPorta (knee) is going to give it a go. Likely will be limited.

LaPorta is active. We'll see how much playing time he gets...

Even though they're in the same division as the Vikings, I'll root for the lions. If I was still gambling, I'd probably go with the trend, & bet on the Rams.

- David Montgomery with a TD on the Lions first drive.
- Jahmyr Gibbs with a TD on the Lions second drive.

He's scored a TD

Stupid move by the Rams to punt.

I know Maher is wildly inconsistent on shorter kicks, but he's hit more 60 yd FGs than any kicker in NFL history.

They had the chance from 61 yds and now they're not gonna get the ball back

I don't get it. Miss the FG or punt, the situation was the same, they couldn't give up a 1st down.

May as well take the chance to win

Torn ACL likely for TE Tyler Higbee who took a shot to the knee.

Right, you play to win the game.

The rams could have won that game. I am a long time lions fan but we got lucky. Cam Sutton is AWFUL.

With two more points the Rams would have won the game.

A FG is worth 3 pts.  A punt is worth zero.

Maybe somebody needs to tell their coach that. You have the NFL's all time leader in 60+yd FGs. I would think to win a playoff game would be the best time to give him a shot.

Gotta think the odds are better the hits that than them getting a 3 and out, and then driving down the field with little time and no TOs for a little bit shorter kick.

It’s a decision  the rams coach will live with forever.
