I remember reading a couple different articles about this. Even though the Lions didn't win they gave the Rams all they could handle and the Bears and Eagles took ideas from that game plan. Do not sell out to stop the run, do not bite on any PA, that's how they generate their big plays.
"As the Rams have struggled in the last few weeks, the residual effects of the Lions game plan keep showing up and frustrating the Rams. They surfaced in Chicago's big win with Vic Fangio, and Jim Schwartz copied some of the plan to help the Eagles win on the road. Analyst Dan Orlovsky took notice.
Seems like the Lions D blueprint playing the Rams 3 weeks ago people paid attention to. Don’t chase the run-don’t sell out to stop the run. You aren’t going to and it opens up the PA gashes. Lions didn’t. Bears didn’t. Doesn’t seem Eagles are either.
...... the Lions frustrated Jared Goff and didn't allow him to get going with deep passes or impact plays. They allowed the Rams to run the ball and sat back in coverage, not giving Goff any open lanes."
