The Detroit Lions are hosting a playoff game for the first time in 30 years. Dan Campbell’s crew won the NFC North and will take on the Los Angeles Rams in Michigan in primetime on Sunday night.
They’ll face a familiar face in quarterback Matthew Stafford, who spent the first 12 years of his career in Detroit before being traded to the Rams three years ago. The 35-year-old Stafford led the Rams to the sixth seed in the NFC by his steady play and the emergence of two rookies in wideout Puka Nacua and running back Kyren Williams. For the Lions, it’s a revenge game for QB Jared Goff, whom the Rams traded to Detroit for Stafford.
The Rams and Lions kick off on Sunday night at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on NBC. Here’s how you can watch, stream and follow along.
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford experienced three winless playoff appearances during his 12-season tenure with the Lions.
