So we meet again, Matthew Stafford. The former Detroit Lions starting quarterback faces his former team for the fourth time in five years in Week 15. In the first matchup back in 2021, the Los Angeles Rams won 28-19, but since then, Stafford hasn’t defeated his former team. The Lions beat the Rams in the 2023 playoffs and in the 2024 season opener.

This season, the matchup has high stakes, as the Lions’ playoff chances are on the line, while the Rams fight to win their division. The Lions can still make the playoffs with a loss to the Rams, but a win would increase those chances. The Rams are playing some good football this season, and they appear to be a potential Super Bowl favorite.

Let’s take a deeper look at the Rams in my Week 15 scouting report.
