The Detroit Lions will host the Los Angeles Rams in NFL Week 5 action. Here’s how to watch the game online.

As part of the NFL Week 6 schedule, the 2-3 Detroit Lions will host the 3-2 Los Angeles Rams. This should be an interesting game between two teams capable up putting up impressive performances.

As usual with the Lions, quarterback Matthew Stafford will likely be the key to this game. If good Stafford shows up, I imagine that the Rams will have trouble scoring with the Lions. That being said, if awful turnover prone Stafford shows up, you have to like the Rams chances.

The Rams’ defense has played well this season, but they are not an elite unit. The Lions have the offensive weapons to move the ball well against the team, especially considering the injury to number one cornerback Trumaine Johnson.

With Johnson expected to miss this game, Troy Hill enters the starting lineup for the Rams. A combination of Hill and E.J. Gaines leaves plenty to be desired at the cornerback position. If Stafford can get him the ball with any sort of consistency, Lions receiver Marvin Jones should have a big game.

When the Rams have the ball, running back Todd Gurley is clearly the key. Gurley is an extremely talented running back, but the Rams offensive line has struggled to open holes for him this season. It doesn’t help that every team stacks the box knowing that feeding Gurley is the Rams plan of attack.

The Lions defense will undoubtedly look to make Rams’ quarterback Case Keenum beat them through the air. However, can they make that happen without their two best defenders (linebacker DeAndre Levy and defensive end Ezekiel Ansah).
