Rams vs Lions preview: Matthew Stafford takes on his former team

Quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams will look to continue their winning ways on Sunday, entering Week 15 having won seven of their last eight games.

Stafford led the Rams back into the win column last week with a dominant performance in the 45-17 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. The veteran passer completed 22-of-31 passes for 281 yards and three touchdowns in the win.

Stafford and the Rams host his former team, the Detroit Lions (8-5) on Sunday, who he holds a 1-1 record against. The Lions’ offense is led by Jared Goff, who was swapped for Stafford in a trade back in 2021.

Stafford has proven to be an MVP candidate, throwing for 3,354 yards, 35 touchdowns and just four interceptions this season.

Here’s what to know about today’s Rams vs. Lions matchup:

Rams keys to victory

Jared Verse and the Rams’ defense must limit and contain running back Jahmyr Gibbs. The Lions’ standout rushed for 43 yards and three touchdowns in Week 14 vs. the Dallas Cowboys.
The Rams must take advantage of their backfield duo of Kyren Williams and Blake Corum out of the backfield against the Lions. If the Rams can establish the run, it can open things up for Stafford in the passing game.
