Matthew Stafford sees Los Angeles Rams' upcoming date vs. Detroit Lions, his former team, no different than 'every other game'

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Matthew Stafford stood at a podium in the bowels of MetLife Stadium on Sunday to answer questions about a 38-11 rout over the New York Giants. Then when asked about an upcoming Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions, his team of 12 seasons, the Los Angeles Rams quarterback deftly responded.

"Just like every other game," Stafford said when asked how he'd prepare for his former team. "It's an NFL opponent coming into our building."

However, Stafford admitted that some extraordinary exchanges were bound to happen ahead of kickoff next Sunday at SoFi Stadium.
