Matthew Stafford didn’t get to taste postseason success during his 12 years with the Lions. He led the team to the playoffs three times, but Detroit was one-and-done each time, losing in the wild-card round in 2011, 2014 and 2016.
But in his first season with the Rams, he not only got his first taste of a playoff win, but he ate the entire Super Bowl pie. Los Angeles won Super Bowl LVI over the Bengals, completely rewriting the narrative of Stafford’s career.
After winning one ring, Stafford is even more motivated to win another.
