Matthew Stafford revealed in a recent episode of Barstool Sports' 'Pardon My Take' he did not root for the Detroit Lions in the playoffs after being eliminated.
Matthew Stafford doesn’t want anybody to win in the NFL playoffs once his team has been eliminated. Not even his former team. In March 2021, the Detroit Lions traded their franchise quarterback to the Los Angeles Rams for Jared Goff, a 2021 third-round pick, and the Rams' 2022 and 2023 first-round picks. The two teams met in the playoffs in Detroit last season in the NFC wild-card round, where the Lions edged the Rams 24-23 to move onto the divisional round and send Stafford home.
Did the quarterback root for the team he spent 12 seasons with as they advanced? 'No, I’m not rooting for anybody at that point.' Stafford said in a recent appearance on Barstool Sports’ 'Pardon My Take.' 'I have a couple of teammates, a couple of ex-teammates that I wanted to see play well, and they did, but, at that point, I wished everybody could lose.' If the two-time Pro Bowler isn’t in the playoffs, there is a good chance he isn’t watching them.
