The Rams are two years removed from a Super Bowl 56 championship-winning season. And it’s only fitting that Stafford, a key architect in that championship season, will get the chance to spoil Detroit’s 2023 campaign in his old home of Ford Field.

Jared Goff was supposed to be a throw-in for the Stafford trade, yet he has the chance to lead the Lions to their first playoff win since 1991. Throw in the enticing chess match of Sean McVay vs. Dan Campbell, and you truly have the makings of a classic.
