Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford embracing Super Bowl expectations

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- While far from settled in Southern California after 12 seasons with the Detroit Lions, new Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is already embracing expectations of a Super Bowl run in Los Angeles.

"Sometimes feeling that pressure is a positive thing, I love that," Stafford said Friday during an introductory videoconference. "I want to be playing in those big games and those big moments, so for me, it's an opportunity more than anything."

The Rams acquired Stafford from Detroit in exchange for quarterback Jared Goff, a 2021 third-round pick and 2022 and 2023 first-round selections.
