Longtime Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is now an official member of the Los Angeles Rams, and he has high hopes for this new team.
Speaking with ESPN’s Seth Wickersham about his main goal with the Rams, Stafford said, “I just want to play in big games, you know? … I want to have opportunities to make big-time plays in the fourth quarter against really good teams, in big moments, rather than a one o’clock game on a Sunday somewhere.”
Ouch. Stafford wasn’t able to pull off a playoff win during in his 12 seasons with the Lions. Time will tell if he has better luck with the Rams.
