Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff face their old teams Sunday at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles as the Detroit Lions (8-5) face the Rams.
The reunions are actually just a subplot of this game as the Lions desperately need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. They currently sit on the outside of the top seven in the NFC. Detroit is one game behind the 49ers and the Bears. LA needs a win if they are to continue the fight for the top overall seed in the NFC.
Each side takes the field with a little momentum. The Lions are looking to build on their win last Thursday against the Dallas Cowboys. The Rams enter the week following a 45-17 win against the Arizona Cardinals.
Lets take a deeper dive into this week’s matchup between the Lions and the Rams.
