LITTLE BIT OF OVERTIME, BUT THE LIONS DID GET THE JOB DONE SUNDAY NIGHT'S SEASON OPENER. DAVID MONTGOMERY'S, ONE YARD TOUCHDOWN GAVE DETROIT A 26 20 WIN OVER MATTHEW STAFFORD AND THE RAMS SPORTS DIRECTOR BRAD KELLEY JOINS US LIVE FROM ALLEN PARK WITH HOW DAN CAMPBELL IN THE LIONS PLAYERS ARE FEELING A DAY AFTER THAT OVERTIME THRILLER BRAT. >> THAT WAS A FUN ONE WAS AND HOW WE GOT THE REMATCH FROM THE PLAYOFFS. JUST 8 MONTHS AGO, THE RAMS IN THE LIONS MEETING IN PRIMETIME TO KICK OFF THE SEASON. >> IT TOOK A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA TIME GOING INTO OVERTIME. DAN CAMPBELL POINTING OUT TO US JUST MOMENTS AGO HERE AT THE TEAM'S FACILITY THAT THE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE BODIES FOR MOST OF HIS PLAYERS. THE STARTERS THAT DIDN'T PLAY IN THE PRESEASON, IT IS VERY REAL. SO PLAYING LATE INTO THE NIGHT IN FRONT OF A NATIONAL TV AUDIENCE, THE MENTAL MAKEUP IS MUCH DIFFERENT FOR THE LIONS AND RAMS A DAY LATER BECAUSE THE LIONS WALKED INTO THIS BUILDING KNOWING THAT THEY'RE ONE AND OH, AND THAT IS A BIG DIFFERENCE FROM THE RAMS. 1, 1, RECORD AS THEY RETURN TO LA MATTHEW STAFFORD IN HIS DARNDEST TO CLASSIC MATTHEW STAFFORD PERFORMANCE PLAYING IN FRONT OF A BANGED UP RAMS OFFENSIVE LINE. WHO CAN THE KULA? HE LOST HIM AS WELL? THE LION STOPS STAFF ARE THE MOST CRITICAL MOMENTS. KERBY JOSEPH PICKED HIM OFF TO CLOSE THE 1ST HALF. JAMESON WILLIAMS ANNOUNCED OF THE FOOTBALL WORLD. HE IS READY TO BE AN NFL STAR. HOW MUCH FUN WAS IT WATCHING? WILLIAMS? ABSOLUTELY. DESTROY THE RAM SECONDARY 5 CATCHES CAREER HIGH 121 YARDS AND THE TOUCHDOWN COMPLETE WITH A DANCE. THE 4TH QUARTER WAS TENSE. BUT IN OVERTIME IT WAS ALL ALLIANCE, THE RUSHING ATTACK. AND DAVID MONTGOMERY WAS AN ABSOLUTE THOROUGHBRED. DETROIT WENT ON TO WIN. 26 20. SO WALKING INTO THE FACILITY KNOWING THAT YOUR WANT TO KNOW. OH, YEAH, THAT MEANS A LOT TODAY. YOU DON'T WIN THAT. THAT'S >> JUST IT'S KIND OF A GUT PUNCH FOR A LITTLE BIT. SO THAT WAS BIG TO BE ABLE TO PULL THAT ONE OUT 9 MOST BETTER THAN IT WILL TO WIN. >> WITH A LAWSUIT, NOBODY DOWN. NOBODY LIKES I MUCH RATHER COME HERE WITH A WIN BECAUSE I WAS UP TO 4 IN THE MORNING. I COULDN'T SLEEP SO MUCH OTHER WITH A WIN. UNDERSTAND WHAT WHAT MAX TALKING ABOUT. YOU KNOW, JUST YOU GO THROUGH IT. I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S HARD ABOUT A NIGHT GAME. YOU KNOW, IT IS BECAUSE YOU I MEAN, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SLEEP. I EVEN AS TIRED AS YOU ARE, THIS IS HARD. >> BEING A GOOD STUDENT OF THE GAME DEFENSIVE TACKLE LEA MCNEIL SAID HE WAS UP UNTIL 04:00AM WATCHING FILM, BUT THEN ALSO REALIZE HE WAS SITTING UP WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND. REBA WAS PLAYING ON NETFLIX. THE OLD COMEDY RERUNS WERE PLAYING AND HE WATCHED IT WITH A SMILE AND IS FACING UP TELL THE STORY WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE. THE NFL SO MANY GAMES WERE CLOSE OVER THE OPENING WEEKEND ON CLOSER THAN THIS ONE THAT WENT TO OVERTIME. AND, YOU KNOW, GETTING THE FEATHER IN YOUR CAP AND WEEK ONE GOES A LONG WAY FOR A TEAM. AS THE SAYING GOES IN FOOTBALL. YOU CAN'T BE TOO. WITHOUT STARTING WANT TO KNOW. WE'RE LIVE TONIGHT IN ALLEN PARK WITH THE LIONS BEGOLLY
