SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- With a victory Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, the Los Angeles Rams clinched the No. 6 seed in the NFC and will face the Detroit Lions in the first round of the playoffs.
It's a meaningful opponent and location for quarterback Matthew Stafford, who was drafted by the Lions in 2009 and played in Detroit for 12 seasons before he was traded to Los Angeles.
Stafford, who did not play Sunday because the Rams had already clinched a wild-card spot, said going back to Ford Field is "exciting," as is the fact the Rams are in the playoffs.
