Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson looked to clearly be down at the 1-yard line after making a sensational catch over Detroit Lions safety Daniel Thomas on a beautiful ball from Stafford. The call was ruled a 26-yard touchdown on the field.
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.
The Los Angeles Rams enter Week 15 as one of the hottest teams in the NFL. L.A. has won seven of its last eight games and is currently the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC entering this weekend's showdown against the Detroit Lions. However, the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers aren't far behind with 10-3 and 9-4 records, respectively.
Puka Nacua is having another dominant performance. After the Rams took a three-point lead over the Lions, Nacua had another big catch to put the Rams in position to up their advantage to 10 points with a Blake Corum 11-yard touchdown. At the start of the fourth quarter, Los Angeles is ahead 34-24.
The Lions allowing the Rams to score 20 unanswered points played significant part in their sixth loss of the season.

Seahawks vs. Rams prediction, odds: Week 16 'Thursday Night Football' picks by proven model
The SportsLine Projection Model has revealed its Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks picks for 'Thursday Night Football' in Week 16
Kyren Williams put the ball in the box on a 4-yard touchdown. Los Angeles converted a pair of fourth downs to keep the chains moving. The first was fourth-and-4 from the Detroit 45, with quarterback Matthew Stafford hitting Puka Nacua for a 6-yard gain. Then Stafford hit Nacua again on fourth-and-8 for a 10-yard gain.
“The key for both teams will be the running game. Jahmyr Gibbs (5.7 yards per carry) and Kyren Williams (4.9 yards per carry) can control a high-stakes game like this. Turnovers also will be huge. The Rams are 4-1 S/U at home this season, and three of those games have been one-score victories.”
