How to Watch Rams vs. Lions Tonight on Sunday Night Football
The first Sunday Night Football game of the 2024 NFL season will be a replay of last season’s Wild Card playoff game, which saw the Lions defeat the Rams. It was the first home playoff game for the Lions in three decades, and they won at home again in the next round before losing to the 49ers in the conference championship.
The Lions and Rams are expected to be back in the NFC playoff mix this season, each led by a steady, veteran quarterback who previously played for the other team. The Rams traded Jared Goff to the Lions for Matthew Stafford three years ago, and it’s been a good fit for both since then.
The Rams-Lions game is about to begin tonight at 8:20 p.m. ET (5:20 p.m. PT)It can be viewed nationwide on NBC or streamed on Peacock.
Quarterbacks Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford met in last year’s playoffs and will now face off again at the start of the 2024 season.
