Report: Rams matching Lions' offer to RB Malcolm Brown

Allen Park -- Malcolm Brown will continue to wear blue and gold in 2019, not Honolulu blue and silver as the Detroit Lions had hoped.

According to the NFL Network, the Los Angeles Rams have opted to match Detroit's offer sheet for the restricted free agent running back, a deal reportedly worth $3.25 million over two seasons.

Brown, 25, is listed at 5-foot-11, 222 pounds. In four seasons with the Rams, he's carried the ball 128 times for 514 yards. He's coming off his best season, averaging a career-high 4.9 yards per carry while backing up Todd Gurley.
