Three years after the quarterback left Detroit and immediately won the Super Bowl in Los Angeles, Stafford and his Rams will attempt to extend the Lions’ misery in a fascinating postseason matchup. Stafford says he still has great affection for Detroit and its long-suffering fans. He also understands that he's “the bad guy” as he returns to play in the postseason game he never managed to get to Detroit.
