Gary Klein breaks down what to watch for when the Rams take on the Detroit Lions at SoFi Stadium on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Lions (8-5) are fighting for a playoff spot out of the NFC North. The Green Bay Packers (9-3-1) are the No. 2 seed and the Chicago Bears (9-4) are No. 7.<\/p>\n

The Rams are coming off a 45-17 rout of the Arizona Cardinals<\/a>, a game in which they rolled up 530 yards. Quarterback Matthew Stafford<\/a>, who has passed for a league-best 35 touchdowns, bounced back from a three-turnover performance in a loss against the Carolina Panthers and returned to the form that has made him one of the front-runners for the NFL most valuable player award.<\/p>\n

Byron Young<\/a> has 11 sacks for a defense that is giving up 17.5 points per game, third fewest in the NFL.<\/p>\n

The Rams will attempt to neutralize a Lions\u2019 offense that averages a league-best 30.3 points per game. Quarterback Jared Goff<\/a> leads a unit that features running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery and receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.<\/p>\n

Edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson has 8\u00bd sacks for a defense that gives up 23.4 points per game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"p]:text-cms-story-body-color-text clearfix”> The Rams are regarded as a Super Bowl contender \u2014 but first they have to make…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":93485,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[3557,11155,42428,423,11489,48,52,51,47,50,49,752,18158,18035,8841,1417,11706,11588,5712,1009,315],"class_list":["post-93484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-am","tag-defense","tag-detroit-lion","tag-game","tag-knee","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-nfl","tag-no","tag-offense","tag-playoff","tag-point","tag-ram","tag-sack","tag-sofi-stadium","tag-southern-california","tag-time"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=93484"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93484\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/93485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=93484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=93484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=93484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
