Rams vs. Lions highlights: Detroit defeats Los Angeles 26-20 in overtime thriller

David Montgomery's 1-yard touchdown run in overtime won the game for the Lions.

David Montgomery's 1-yard touchdown run in overtime propelled the Detroit Lions to a home victory against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. Montgomery finished with 91 yards, complementing his backfield partner Jahmyr Gibbs' 40 yards and a score.

The Lions move to 1-0, while the Rams drop to 0-1.

Detroit led much of the game thanks to Gibbs' rush, a 52-yard touchdown reception by receiver Jameson Williams and two field goals by Jake Bates, a rookie kicker making his NFL debut. Bates drilled a clutch 32-yarder with 17 seconds left to send his team into extra time.
