Rams vs Lions preview
The Lions are about to host an NFL playoff game for the first time in 30 years, but in typical fashion, the return of a former flame has charged the occasion with dread. Sunday's blockbuster clash is the standout game of the Wild Card Weekend because it marks Matthew Stafford's first return to Detroit since he and Jared Goff traded places three years ago.
He may have served the Lions with distinction for 12 years, but this will be Stafford's first-ever postseason outing at Ford Field, and with the Rams riding a four-game winning streak, there's every chance that the erstwhile fan-favourite could help extend the league's longest postseason win drought to 32 years.
Spare a thought for Goff, who'll be hailed as a hero if he manages to break the curse – the Lions are the only NFL team to have never get past the Wild Card round – but will be subject to countless unfavourable comparisons with his opposite number if things don't end up going to plan.
The Lions have been superb at home this season, going 6-2 in front of their own fans, but their struggles against the pass are a major cause for concern. They're allowing an average of 247.4 passing yards per game, the sixth-worst numbers in the NFL, and Stafford will have Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua churning up the field.
The Rams, however, have gone 2-6 against fellow playoff qualifiers, while the Lions are 3-3 by the same metric. Follow our guide on how to watch Rams vs Lions wherever you are and live stream NFL games all season.
