The Detroit Lions were ready for war as they entered SoFi Stadium on Sunday but fell apart in the third quarter.

The Detroit Lions fell to 8-6 with a 41-34 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Here are grades for each position group based on performance in the Lions' Week 15 matchup against the Rams.

The Detroit Lions have not won back-to-back games since October, but they likely need to win three straight to make the playoffs.

Between the end of the second quarter through the third, the Rams scored 20 unanswered points to comeback and steal the win from the Lions. The Rams’ defensive front came alive in the second half and wrecked havoc on the Lions’ interior offensive line.

Sam LaPorta’s season is pretty much over. Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said Friday, Nov. 21, that LaPorta underwent back surgery and likely will miss the rest of the year, including Sunday's game against the L.A. Rams at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California..

On Sunday, the Lions were in the middle of a heated battle against the Los Angeles Rams, who remain the No. 1 seed in the NFC. With the Lions leading 24-20 midway through the third quarter, their fortunes were turned upside down.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams left Sunday's 41-34 win over the Detroit Lions with a non contact hamstring injury and did not return. The injury represents a potentially critical setback for Matthew Stafford's second-leading target in the passing game.
