side here in this early September touch back to start Melissa spoke to Dan Campbell on the way out of the locker room Dan an interception for the 30 David Montgomery the run for two yards I I don't know why I always laugh when he talks Chris but we did our meeting with him it was just it's just fun you're just talking ball and it's just real man and all that stuff man how about the Aiden Hutchinson story though oh yeah it was great was great right he he says comes in and he always tries to get us fired up and he loves like heavy metal music and he was up there and he kept telling him to turn it up and he was trying to sell stories about his life around the music he kept saying Turn It Up nobody could hear a story he just kept yelling nobody knew what it was Montgomery again trying to rip the ball away are the Rams four yards to the 36 so Dan didn't know that so Aiden tells us so we tell Dan and like hey Dan guess what you got another one in your back pocket if you're want to go back to that story and of course he's doing commercials now and they're good they're they're good right he's he's getting good at and immediately when we bring it up he's like his head dropped so my family and my wife and daughter made he's been a more than just a character he has been a foundation Builder third and four twisting fourman Rush has his C Williams could not hang on to it it's incomplete he got tagged on that one by reader the linebacker but Jameson Williams couldn't pull it in and it's a three and out to start the half again for La Mike I'm going to tell you try reader has the ways that you're doing it he's doing it against the Run he's doing it in the pass and I got a feeling that these two linebackers Rose boom and reer got a little sick and tired of hearing how great Ernest Jones was and how they're going to fall apart without him they both played really well tonight ja CLS to kick another rocket shot since k w Williams back his punt goes at the one and dieses but the Lions can't secure it it goes back in the end zone it will be a Touchback Jack Fox killed that right at the one with the perfect spin on it but it goes all the way through the back the rookie Andis re no PUK Anda to start the second half Tye Williams on the Run chased Down by Jack Campbell maybe lost a yard Melissa yeah Mike we told you in the second quarter that luk nuro was questionable with a knee injury then he went back in the game briefly when he came back out he was visibly upset on the sidelines and you can see him there meantime Melissa with the injury up front there's even more shifting now Bo limmer the rookie out of Arkansas is the center and Jonah Jackson has moved to guard for the Rams so limmer making his NFL debut snap there to Stafford it was pressured and underneath there's nothing going for Tyler Johnson terion Arnold the rookie for the Lions [Music] joins Brian Branch it'll be third down I tell you Aiden Hudson's on he gets going he's a handful Lions bring pressure Stafford holds it slings it nearly intercepted for the second time Branch diving couldn't get his hands on it and it's a three and out for La so now Mike they are taken Ethan Evans when he drops it like that they're very very hard to catch secured at the 37 by khif Raymond after the good Hang Time the Rams are there for coverage it's a return of four to the 41 yd line net of 41 we're back in 30 seconds with it to start the first half both these quarterbacks Stafford and gof traded for each other starred for the other team over the many years neither one played in the preseason were 10 quarterbacks who are the starters who didn't see any preseason action including these two it's a draw it's montgomer and he'll take it to the 45 yd line pick up with maybe five on first down on the ground for David Montgomery's got 12 carries for 46 yards so far tonight yeah I tell you Byron young Young's had a nice game over there as well b a part of that miss mix as well out of FSU the rookie AR State teammates taking one and two by the Rams God throws back across the middle of the field for Montgomery gain of three as he's brought down by Christian roseboom inside it'll be third down and three coming up well once again we see the play by the linebacker Christian Rose Boom coming up there is holding up in game one ad after Aaron Donald and we haven't even talked about all the cornerbacks they're missing we've been talking about how many offensive linemen they're missing on third down deep drop go the shot downfield for Williams is open jamson's got it to the end zone touchdown Detroit Jameson Williams there is a flag down let's check it before the pass illegal contact Defense number 27 that penalty is declined the break and really almost should have tackled him at that point because if you have this year Dan Campbell told us that Jared gof has confidence in Jameson Williams see some reasons there extra point knocked through by Jake Bates and the across the Ambassador Bridge from Windor Ontario Canada here in Detroit touch back for the Rams they will take over at the 30 yd line James Williams longest touchdown his career again a new center Jonah Jackson out there at left guard three guys in the way of Hutchins as it's screened to KY Williams and Alan sanone has a couple of tackles for loss here on this opening night of the season three tackles for loss for the veteran eighth year man in the middle for Detroit's defense anzalone 27 Rams concept on the ground Williams hard run three yards Melissa Mike Chris was just talking about the Rams already without two projected starters on the offensive line coming in now even more injuries left tackle Joe no he remains questionable in the locker room and now left guard never seen a lineup like this on opening day right right right and they didn't play anybody really during the course of the pre-season this is pretty remarkable one tackle out with injury havenstein and the other onear Jackson suspended the first two weeks third and 10 quick to Cooper cup got some plops on the edge going to get the first down yes he does terrific job by Cooper cup and kby Parkinson blocking for him and the Rams get a much needed first down well they wanted to bring pressure on the play so they had the slot on Much Anymore to win this battle because they're so thinned out just let Aiden Hutchinson keep going to work Matthew Stafford with the play action two guys going deep throws to one of them it's cup complete in front of the rookie Teran Arnold and the first down so the Rams get Cooper cup run routes he's not such a great point you know that position you're terrific position when you played just that head I was watching Cup's head I thought he was going deep yeah Stafford again out quick to Tyler Johnson no game this time Arnold on the corner makes the play Chris I love the this Rams offense is it together it really is and you begin to see when these guys are working together why they wanted to make the trade for Matthew Stafford because when they had conversations when they weren't on the same team it was always going to a higher and higher level and I just think the Temptation was too great for Shawn McBay that not to go get him and they've been really good won a championship Aaron Williams hits it hard Dan alone taking the most of that in the gain of almost seven yards for the third year back out of n in Mike I think this is the first of these Duo and play action off of it third and four in field goal range down 14 going to run it Williams trying to pick his way through once again enzone is there and it is fourth down Sean mcy not even thinking about making it an we didn't give him backers for fourth down but the third down one served the purpose Stafford in the middle complete for the first down to Robinson Demarcus Robinson to the 15 yd line ninth year out of Florida started with the Chiefs back that was a very strange play they just had nobody that covered the point at all on that Crossing r out and here we go back to the gets this going Rams back in the Red Zone again here tonight Stafford hands it to Cooper cup the re from the back end by Brian Branch brought him down gain of a yard the injured Corner Arnold walked off the field under his own power did so slowly but he's hanging around with a helmet by the sideline right now so we've seen these teams play here twice this is trip number six in the red zone right and so far the Rams in the two games combined 0 for five they got to have a touchdown here doing it without puking a CO up out for the game with a knee injury and missing the left side of there already banged up offensive line Second and nine [Applause] William get a first down at the five Arnold back in [Applause] here's a rookie teron Arnold coming back in the game he's played well Amir Robertson the slot that came over from the Raiders is playing well and Carlton Davis has played well and obviously Kirby Joseph with that big pick big play right here Stafford throwing and zone for C nothing but a flag that's Defense number zero B will be placed at the SP foul automatic first down so the veteran Davis got away with that quick grab we'll check the rookie armor yeah yeah and that was the break the Rams well thisa about penalties and mistakes in big spots down here in the Red Zone there's another one the first and goal for the Rams and Williams how her to tackle to the end zone for a Rams touchdown they're first of the block by Tyler Johnson right there and some finish don't think anything went down talk about the grit of the Lions all the time Rams got plenty of it too and on display [Applause] there a Stanford cardi adds the extra point seven they had taken a punch and they were on two of the best who both left when they still had a little bit more in their game touch back here the Lions to take over at the 30 yd line you said it in the open it's just hard to qu time but it was only because Aaron donnal was so great you had no choice but to help on him 180 without him the Rams trying to slow down Jared G swings it out to Tamir Gibbs couldn't get a head of steam going picks up about two yards how have they done so far up front there here Chris we've seen Fisk on that one we've seen Jared first I thought Byron Young's had a really nice game and they're not being forced into those fiveman fronts that they started the game with because the running game hasn't gotten going yet here a toss to the left he get to the 35 Melissa about one of those guys up front yes rookie Jared verse he told me he thinks Aaron Donald is the best defensive player to set foot on Earth and verse had the opportunity to zoom with Donald while he was in school at Albany said his biggest takeaway was you don't need seven or eight moves you need three a power a speed and a counter move and be great at them I asked if that advice was game-changing he said no it was world changing he saw him again at training camp he said just be you you're a dog enough trip he probably was the best player while he was on he wasn't on earth when Reggie White and Dion some of those guys were there third and five for G protected for the moment throws inside but it's going to be short of the first down here a San lorta but Quinton Lake was there with John Johnson fourth and short and the Lions going to punt this one away shoes are right back in this game you said it g is great throwing the ball in the middle and the Rams have done a good job taking that away tonight Fox with a terrific kick and he bounce and fall on by fallen on by Kiren Williams didn't have to do that jumps on it at the 15 yd line Ambassador Bridge on the way to Taran who's up in the third level of Ford Field watching listening tonight we're going to get the opportunity visit with her in a second as her son is behind the man who is the quarterback here for a Dozen Years Matthew Stafford Rams take over down seven at the 16 yard C in motion Williams left he hit hard sorry Mom lost of three there here's what the day has been like for Mom you guys can win games you want to win them all all of them all of them including the Super Bowl let down baby from dere Barnes lost of a couple on that carry for kir it's second and 12 for Stafford in the Rams some pressure Stafford throws over the middle it's complete good Spin and turn by Tyler Johnson heading up field and Johnson brings into the secondary Johnson the Speedster on the run inside the 30 still going to the 23 yd line what a play 63 yds for the fourth year match with caner with the longest reception of his career as the quarter comes to an end Fast and Furious here at the end of the third Lions 17
