Matthew Stafford and the Rams overcome a 10-point deficit to defeat the Detroit Lions in an important NFC showdown that keeps them the No. 1 seed.

The Detroit Lions actually held a halftime lead against the Los Angeles Rams. In the first 30 minutes of the game, Detroit forced a turnover, scored points off of the Aidan Hutchinson interception and were able to move the football well offensively.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson looked to clearly be down at the 1-yard line after making a sensational catch over Detroit Lions safety Daniel Thomas on a beautiful ball from Stafford. The call was ruled a 26-yard touchdown on the field.

Soon after, the Lions looked more like the team that hasn’t won consecutive games since Weeks 4–5. And while they still are very likely to make the playoffs if they win out, the reality is Dan Campbell’s team has been a below-.

Between the end of the second quarter through the third, the Rams scored 20 unanswered points to comeback and steal the win from the Lions. The Rams’ defensive front came alive in the second half and wrecked havoc on the Lions’ interior offensive line.

The Detroit Lions’ loss to the Los Angeles Rams certainly made a dent in their opportunity to make the playoffs. By some estimations, a win would have put the Lions’ odds well over 60% to make the playoffs—despite the fact that they would be still be in the eighth seed after Week 15.

Reed has had a solid season in his debut campaign with the Lions. He’s compiled two interceptions, and has recorded a 67.1 Pro Football Focus pass-coverage grade. Plus, he’s earned a 69.2 overall mark from PFF, the 27th-best grade among 109 qualified corners.

Detroit lost 41-34 to Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams in Week 15 on Sunday afternoon to fall to 8-6.
