**Lions Edge Out Rams in Overtime: Top Highlights and Stats from Sunday Night Football**
The Detroit Lions host the Los Angeles Rams in the inaugural "Sunday Night Football" game of the 2024 NFL season, marking a rematch of last year's NFC wild-card playoff clash.
In that thrilling matchup, the Lions secured their first playoff victory in 32 years, ending the league's longest postseason drought. The Lions progressed to the NFC Championship game but fell to the San Francisco 49ers. Both teams enter this Sunday night’s game with aspirations of making a playoff return.
This matchup features a quarterback duel between Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff, who face their former teams once again. Stafford, currently the NFL's 11th all-time passing yardage leader with 56,047 yards, is on track to break into the top 10 by October. Goff, who had his fourth 4,000-yard passing season in 2023, threw a career-high 30 touchdowns last year.
