description

Something had to give in Week 1 when Byron Young — riding high after both an eighth-place Rookie of the Year finish and back-to-back games with sacks to close last season — went head-to-head with one of the NFL’s premier offensive lines. Quick to provide Sunday night’s first statement, the Los Angeles Rams’ talented linebacker used a well-timed stunt to catch the Lions’ offensive line unprepared before engulfing Detroit’s quarterback for a drive-ending sack. The Rams would fall 26-20 on Sept. 8, 2024, though Young remained productive, contributing four tackles (one for a loss), one QB hit, and one sack.
