Overview
- Goff said he feels “not so much anymore” in terms of emotion about playing his former team and stressed respect for Los Angeles and the need to find a way to win.
- He noted the trade feels like a long time ago and that his career has spent more time in Detroit, where he has now started more games than he did with the Rams.
- Goff enters the matchup completing 70.1% of his passes for 3,334 yards with 26 touchdowns and five interceptions this season.
- The Rams sit atop the NFC behind Stafford’s standout year, with 35 touchdown passes against four interceptions and a top-tier red-zone offense converting 66.7% of trips.
- Detroit’s defense is shorthanded with Brian Branch out for the season, Terrion Arnold on injured reserve, Kerby Joseph sidelined, and Thomas Harper in concussion protocol, a concern against Stafford’s strong results versus man coverage and the blitz.
