An odd coaching and officiating sequence happened in the first quarter of the Detroit Lions’ loss to the Los Angeles Rams. After the Rams completed a 23-yard pass all the way down the Lions’ 3-yard line, Detroit head coach Dan Campbell threw a challenge flag.

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 Los Angeles Rams knew they'd have to put up an incredible offensive performance to outmatch the Detroit Lions. They did just that in Week 15.

Maybe Dan Campbell knows the right Detroit Lions for a playoff push. He just doesn't have enough of them, not this season, at least.

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

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 will need to take care of their own business to make the playoffs, plus get some help from around the league.

The Detroit Lions finished game against LA Rams without their top 3 safeties and 2 of their top 3 cornerbacks, after Amik Robertson's hand injury.

Detroit hasn't won consecutive games in more than two months, and its defense has become a liability over the last four.
