Allen Park — After a two-week, holiday-related break from the film review, we return just in time to dissect the Detroit Lions' 30-16 loss to the red-hot Los Angeles Rams.
The margin of defeat ended up being right about where most anticipated, but the way the Lions lost the game probably didn't follow the expected script
The Lions managed to keep it close until halfway through the fourth quarter, when quarterback Matthew Stafford fumbled and the Rams converted that turnover into a touchdown a few plays later.
Before that, Detroit's defense managed to limit the high-powered Rams offense to 16 points.
