The Los Angeles Rams suffered an early playoff exit on Sunday, getting bounced in the wild-card round by Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions, 24–23.
Goff, of course, was a former first-round pick for the Rams and spent the first five years of his career in Los Angeles. He, along with multiple draft picks, was dealt to the Lions in a blockbuster trade for Matthew Stafford ahead of the 2021 NFL season.
Coach Sean McVay addressed the media after the game and discussed the loss, giving credit to Dan Campbell and Detroit for their accomplishment. When asked about the quarterback battle between Stafford and Goff, he had nothing but praise for his former quarterback.
