Receiver Kalif Raymond has two touchdown catches and receiver Amon-Ra St. Swift and Hockenson are listed as questionable because of groin and knee injuries, respectively. Hockenson has 32 catches, two for touchdowns. Running back D’Andre Swift has rushed for three touchdowns, and he has 34 receptions, one for a touchdown. Goff has passed for 1,505 yards and seven touchdowns, with four interceptions. Now he is pretty much on an island without near the same talent. When Lions have the ball: Quarterback Goff spent the previous four seasons playing in one of the NFL’s most creative and talented offenses with the Rams. Cornerback Amani Oruwariye has intercepted three passes. Linebacker Charles Harris has four sacks. Former Rams defensive tackle Michael Brockers anchors the Lions line. Running back Sony Michel was limited in practice because of a shoulder injury but is expected to play Sunday. Against the Giants, he rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown in 21 carries and made a nice play on a 25-yard touchdown catch. Running back Darrell Henderson continues to play through a rib issue. Robert Woods and Van Jefferson also have been involved the last two games, but McVay could once again find it necessary to increase the role of DeSean Jackson. Cooper Kupp has a team-best 46 catches, seven for touchdowns. Stafford has passed for 16 touchdowns, with four interceptions in a scheme in which McVay has used more straight drop backs than in the past with Jared Goff. After last week’s 38-11 victory over the New York Giants, Stafford, coach Sean McVay and other players on offense were not happy about another slow start, or uncharacteristic sacks and penalties. When Rams have the ball: Quarterback Matthew Stafford faces his former team for the first time with an arsenal of receivers unlike any he played with at one time in Detroit. The game will be carried on Fox (Channel 11). Breaking down how the Rams (5-1) and the Detroit Lions (0-6) match up heading into their game at 1:05 p.m.
