Notes: Soul-stealing Matthew Stafford goes to ‘dark place’ pull off 11th-hour win

While typically the embodiment of calm, cool, and collected, Matthew Stafford offered some edgier comments following the Los Angeles Rams’ victory Sunday afternoon.

Detroit Lions fans know No. 9 is not known for spicy words. He’s never really made headlines for controversial takes. He’s not one to stir up trouble in the NFL. Loss after loss, Stafford stood at the podium for post-game pressers and calmly answered questions. For years and years. And years.

So Lions fans may have been surprised by some fiery comments following the Rams’ 11th-hour win after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers mounted a 24-point comeback.
