The NFC West has seen some impressive offensive performances to start the year. Can the Los Angeles Rams keep that up on Sunday night? It will be their defense that keeps the Rams on the edge against the Detroit Lions.

When Jared Goff had time to throw from a clean pocket in the playoffs, his adjusted accuracy was spot on at 100 percent. That was when the Rams had Aaron Donald. They replaced him with a couple of rookies along the defensive line.

Los Angeles has always brought back cornerback Darious Williams and is relying on Tre White after multiple season-ending injuries, and just traded away linebacker Ernest Jones. Stopping Detroit will be a challenge for a defense that has overachieved and lost talent.

The Lions offense is expected to be among the best in the league. They were one of the most impressive groups on that side of the ball in 2023 and have re-signed offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Sunday night feels like it could be a statement game for Dan Campbell and co.
