Matthew Stafford set to join select club of ex-Detroit Lions quarterbacks in playoffs

He’ll be wearing royal blue and yellow tonight for the Los Angeles Rams, but it will be tough not to be reminded of his days in Honolulu Blue and silver when Matthew Stafford takes his first playoff snap against the Arizona Cardinals.

Stafford, who spent 12 seasons with the Detroit Lions, will be at quarterback for the Rams as he looks for his first career postseason victory. (He had three shots with the Lions, falling to the New Orleans Saints in 2011, the Dallas Cowboys in 2014 and the Seattle Seahawks in 2016.) The Rams are favored by 3 ½ points, so the odds are in his favor.
