The LA Rams and the Detroit Lions come head to head on Sunday in a big Week 6 clash today. Today's game comes to us from Ford Field in Detroit and has a start time of 1 p.m. ET. The game can be watched on TV on the Fox network or online through live stream via the link below.
The Rams will be disappointed to be coming into Week 6 on 3-2 having lost at home last week against the Buffalo Bills.
Those of the kinds of games that the Rams will want to win if they are to stand a chance at making the postseason. However, the Los Angeles offense never really got going in the game, and the Rams defense constantly leaked points to the Bills through all four quarters to undermine their game plan.
The Rams will be desperate to get back to winning ways today, but they face a Detroit Lions team that will have gained a huge amount of confidence following last week's impressive 24-23 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
The first half display last week from the Lions was immense and they will be hoping for more of that when they come out against the Rams today. At half time the Lions were 21-10 ahead against the Eagles, and although Philadelphia fought back hard in the second half, Detroit held on to claim their second win if the season and move to 2-3.
Another win today would bring them back to a level record and give them hope that they can push on from here to become real contenders for the postseason.
Earlier this week, Week 6 got started with a big game between the Denver Broncos and the San Diego Chargers on Thursday Night Football.
The Broncos came into the game as heavy favorites, with most expecting them to bounce back from their first defeat of the season a week before. However, it became apparent that Denver's first loss was not simply a minor blip, and they now appear to be heading into a slump in form as they were defeated 21-13 by the Chargers.
San Diego were in charge throughout, and heading into the final quarter, the Chargers were 19-3 ahead. The Broncos finally showed some life in offense in the fourth quarter, but 10 points was nowhere near enough to get them back into the game.
That result dropped the Broncos back to 4-2, and simultaneously lifted the Chargers up to 2-4 and gives them a tiny glimmer of hope that this season still holds something for them.
The victory will be sweet relief for San Diego fans, who have witnessed their team constantly choke to give away fourth quarter leads again and again this season to drop to 1-4.
Although there were signs of what had gone on in previous games here, the result was never seriously in doubt. Chargers' fans will still have been holding their breath though when the Broncos shortened the lead to 8 points with 32 seconds left, but a last gasp drive from the Broncos ended with a failed Hail Mary and finally the San Diego faithful were able to breathe again.
The Broncos now have time to rest with an extra long week before returning in Week 7 on Monday Night Football to face the Houston Texans. Meanwhile, the Chargers won't play again until two Sundays from now when they will take on the Atlanta Falcons.
