Matthew Stafford Opens Up About Super Bowl Challenge

Former Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is heading to the Super Bowl, and he's ready.

“It’s a long time coming, you know?” Stafford said after the game. “I’ve spent a lot of years in this game in this league and loved every minute of it. I feel blessed to be able to play in this league for as long as I have. But I sure am happy for this opportunity not only for myself but for the guys in that locker room who deserve this too. And that’s what it is, it’s an opportunity to go out there and win another one.”

Stafford also gave props to his new teammates with the Rams.

“We had high expectations all year. We’ve done nothing but do everything in our power to try and meet those," Stafford said. "It’s a driven group we have in there. This game wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t easy in some spots. But we found a way to win the game and that’s what it’s all about. Just happy and proud to b a part of this group and we’ve got some more work left to do.”
