“Lions edge defender Aidan Hutchinson was lights out in this one and was arguably the biggest reason why Stafford was denied his revenge for the second time.

According to PFF’s first review of the game film, Hutchinson recorded one sack, three hits and five hurries from 44 pass-rush snaps, and he added another eight pass-rush wins that didn’t result in pressure. The star pass rusher ended the contest with a 37.0% pass-rush win rate and a 90.0-plus PFF grade.”

Everyone’s Saying the Same Thing About Cooper Kupp After Rams-Lions (athlonsports.com)

“The Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions faced off in a massive NFC showdown on “Sunday Night Football.” The game had plenty of headlines, including Matthew Stafford’s return to Detroit and the Lions’ first game after a heartbreaking NFC title game loss.

However, it was Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp that stole the show. The talented wide receiver has struggled with injuries over the past two years. In 2022 and 2023, Kupp played 21 games combined after being a reliable option for the Rams.”
