Just In: Raheem Morris has finally leave Rams who is next as DC.

The Los Angeles Rams have been on the rise for second half of the regular season and find themselves in the playoffs now with a huge wild card matchup against the Detroit Lions. The biggest story line of this huge matchup is the Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff angle as they are both facing their previous teams and they both have a lot to prove in this game.

While Stafford already has a Super Bowl victory, there is definitely more pressure on Jared Goff to beat his former team and the Lions have been dreaming of a playoff game for long time. Stafford played with the Lions for a long time and this will be emotional to say the least but he has not lost sight of the fact that he is the enemy now of his former team in this game.

Matthew Stafford had a very solid game in the NFC Wild Card Round against his former team in the Detroit Lions as he finished 25-of-36 (69.4 completion percentage) for a season-high 367 yards with a pair of passing touchdowns. Throughout the regular season, he had a 24:11 touchdown-to-interception ratio while being sixth in the league with a 63.6 QBR.

Matthew Stafford is going to be entering the first year of major money on this four-year, $160 million contract as in 2024 he is scheduled to make $31 million as a base salary. With one massive player already saying he is going to return, it will be interesting to see if we hear about any other player’s future in the coming days.

Can Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams compete for the NFC West next season?

This is going to be something that we have a lot of time to discuss but the Rams are certainly in a position to compete with the rest of the division to get the NFC West crown. The team has a good amount of picks and the first time since selecting quarterback Jared Goff, they have a first-round pick.

With the emergence of wide receiver Puka Nacua and having solid players on both sides of the football, they can be a threat to do well. The Rams have also shown the ability to find players later in the draft and attracting free agents to go to Los Angeles is not as difficult as you’d think. With the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers in the division, it will be difficult but there is definitely the chance to win games and make the postseason once again.
