DETROIT — Was it ownership? The front office? The players in the locker room? A mix of all the above?
Matthew Stafford is one win from reaching the Super Bowl in his first season with the Los Angeles Rams, and the former Detroit Lions quarterback said Wednesday he has not had time to reflect yet on why he never approached this kind of success in his 12 seasons in Detroit.
"I haven’t thought too much about it, to be honest with you," Stafford said in a video conference. "I’m just trying to make sure I’m in the present, being kind of where my feet are planted and taking care of business here. Had a great time, a great run there. Loved playing there for 12 years. But I’m in this place now and enjoying the opportunity to be a part of this team and see where we can take it, so that’s kind of where I’m at, at the moment."
