It’s the first home playoff game for the Lions in 30 years. They haven’t won in the postseason since 1991-92.

“I so badly want to win a game for this city and win a playoff game for this city that hasn’t had one in so long,” Goff said. “We’ve got a home playoff game for the first time in so long and that’s so much more important than anything personally for me. I want to be a part of this win and do my job to the best of my ability.”

Stafford gave it that next-game treatment, as well, reiterating his love of the city and fans from his 12 years under center for the Lions. It’s the veteran quarterback’s first trip back to Ford Field since being traded for Goff three years ago. Stafford said he’ll game-day routine will remain the same, while he’ll say hello to those who want to catch up from his time in Detroit.

“I’m not expecting anything, to be honest with you,” Stafford said on Wednesday. “I was asked this question a couple times, just by friends and family. And I think the biggest thing for me is to just go experience whatever that experience is going to be. I understand what the people of Detroit and what the city of Detroit meant to me in my time and my career with them and to my family. I hope they feel that back.

“But at the same time I’m not a stranger to the situation and understanding that I’m the bad guy coming to town. You know? I’m on the other team. And they don’t want success for me, so whatever happens, happens. I’m going to go experience it. Play the game. Once the ball is snapped, man, let’s go. Two good football teams go compete and see what happens.”
