At the end of the 2018 NFL season, quarterback Jared Goff was leading the Los Angeles Rams into Super Bowl 53 with Sean McVay. Today he returns to LA as the leader of the Detroit Lions. The Rams quarterback is former Lion, 12 year veteran Matthew Stafford. The Rams are 5-1 and the Lions are 0-6.
The beginning of the end for Goff in Los Angeles could be traced back to Super Bowl 53 since the Rams lost that game to the New England Patriots by failing to score a single touchdown and failed to make the playoffs the following season marking the only such failure in the McVay era.
