NFL suspended rams coach “Sean McVay” as he exposed the owner secret…

Super Wild Card Weekend is here! Sunday going to be a triple header, but the Steelers vs Bills game was postponed until tomorrow due to weather.. The second game on today’s two game lineup features the 3rd and 6th seeds from the NFC. The Los Angeles Rams are visiting the Detroit Lions, and it’s going to be a battle between Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff. The two teams swapped QBs three years ago, and the Rams went on to win a Super Bowl. Is it Detroit’s turn this year with Goff under center? The Lions won their division for the first time in 30 years and have championship goals this season.

The Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions will create history when they face off in the NFC Wild Card playoff game on Sunday.

The game marks the first time both starting quarterbacks – the Rams’ Matthew Stafford and the Lions’ Jared Goff – will be facing their former teams at the same time in playoff history.

The history of two former quarterbacks facing their former teams at the same time originated on Jan. 30, 2021. That’s when the Rams sent Goff, the No. 1 pick in the 2016 NFL draft, and first-round draft picks in 2022 and 2023, and a third-round pick in the 2021 draft to the Lions in exchange for Stafford, the No. 1 pick of the 2009 NFL draft.

The Rams were willing to move Goff, even though he led them to Super Bowl 53, where they lost to the New England Patriots by a score of 13-3 in 2019. Two years later, the relationship between Goff and Rams’ coach Sean McVay had deteriorated badly.

“Obviously, we had our differences there at the end,” Goff told reporters Wednesday.

McVay acknowledged he could have handled Goff’s final days and the trade differently.

“When you end up making a change, that ended up being difficult. And could it have been handled better on my end? Absolutely. And I’ll never run away from that,” McVay told reporters. “He deserved better than the way that it all went down. I’ll acknowledge that.”

The trade paid immediate dividends for the Rams. Stafford, in his first season with the Rams, led them to a 13-3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals to capture Super Bowl 56 during the 2021 season.

Goff has experienced a renaissance in 2023, leading the Lions to a 12-5 record – tied for most wins in franchise history – and a NFC North division title. Goff has an opportunity to help deliver a rare playoff win for the Lions, who are hosting their first home playoff game since facing the Green Bay Packers in a Wild Card playoff game in 1993.

The trade has become a rarity in sports, one that benefitted both teams.
