Matthew Stafford remains a beloved figure in Detroit despite suiting up for the Los Angeles Rams the past few years. Whenever the Rams and Lions meet, it’s always a bit strange to see him line up against Jared Goff, the quarterback who came to Detroit in the trade. For Lions fans, though, the only thing that matters is their team pulling out the win.
This offseason has been anything but smooth for Stafford. A lingering injury sidelined him for much of training camp, preventing him from getting consistent reps with the team. Earlier this week, he finally returned to practice, though the process has been cautious. While Detroit fans don’t want to see him beat their team, many still pull for his success as a former cornerstone of the franchise.
