The deal commonly known as “the Matthew Stafford trade” is the rare win-win, as the Los Angeles Rams were able to win the Super Bowl and the Detroit Lions were also aided by the deal, winning their division for the first time in 30 years. Now three seasons later, the Lions are hosting the Rams in the wild card round and some bitter fans would even argue that this is Stafford’s fourth career opportunity to prevent Detroit from winning a playoff game.
Or it could be Goff’s first chance to sink the Rams’ title hopes since Super Bowl LIII.
