The first Sunday Night Football game of the 2024 NFL season is a rematch of last season’s Wild Card playoff game in which the Lions defeated the Rams. It was the first home playoff game for the Lions in three decades, who won again at home in the next round before losing on the road to the 49ers in the conference champsionship.
The Lions and Rams are expected to be in the NFC playoff mix again 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 ever since.
The Rams-Lions game is set to start tonight at 8:20 p.m. ET (5:20 p.m. PT). It’s available to watch nationally on NBC or stream on Peacock.
Having met in the playoffs last year, QBs Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford face off again to begin the 2024 season.
