NFL roundtable: Did Rams’ win over Lions validate Stafford-Goff trade?

LA Times  

The much-anticipated Rams-Lions matchup, pitting quarterbacks Jared Goff of the Lions and Matthew Stafford of the Rams against their former teams, is history. Moderated by Los Angeles Times NFL editor Athan Atsales, Rams beat writer Gary Klein and NFL writer Sam Farmer discuss the Rams’ past and future: The Lions’ defeat was sealed when Aaron Donald hit the Lions’ Jared Goff as he was throwing, and the quarterback’s pass in the end zone was intercepted by Jalen Ramsey. The Rams’ Cooper Kupp is congratulated after grabbing a touchdown catch from Matthew Stafford against the Lions in the second quarter. Even though they are winless, many would say the snake-bitten Lions are better than the Houston Texans, the Rams’ next opponent — on the road. Klein: Can’t imagine that the Texans will follow the Lions’ lead and try onside kicks and multiple fake punts, but special teams has definitely been a weak spot for the Rams.
