Call it the rubber match.

In 2014, former Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz got the better of his old team as an assistant with the Buffalo Bills when his defense sacked Matthew Stafford six times and he was carried off the field after a 17-14 win.

Two years later, Stafford got revenge on Schwartz, then with the Philadelphia Eagles, when he threw three touchdown passes against Schwartz’s defense to lead the Lions to a 24-23 victory.
