Life will change forever Sunday for either Matthew Stafford or Joe Burrow.
For Stafford, in his first year with the Los Angeles Rams, it would be the validation of a career that included a dozen years piling up numbers but not wins with the Detroit Lions.
He would go from a stat guy to a winner and future buzz for the Hall of Fame would become a legitimate argument, as if the previous numbers weren’t worth anything until Stafford got a Super Bowl ring.
Burrow, in just his second year with the Cincinnati Bengals, would blow up exponentially in terms of being a star.
