Okay, back to the Cannon’s old team, the LA Rams. The Rams go into Detroit, where QB Matthew Stafford will face his old team, the Lions, in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs. After winning the Super Bowl in 2022, the Rams were one of the worst teams last season and expected to be terrible again this year, but Puka surprised after being drafted in the fifth round, Stafford stayed healthy, RB Kyren Williams dominated, and the young guys on defense played well, and now here they are back in the playoffs after just one year rebuilding. The Lions, meanwhile, won their division with Jared Goff. Both teams can be happy with the results of their trade.
Here is a sentence every Dallas Cowboys fan dreads reading: The Cowboys are set to host the Dallas Cowboys in round one of the NFL Playoffs.
The Packers have won nine of theirs last ten matchups with the Cowboys, including four of the last five on the road and the last two playoff meetings. Most of those were with Aaron Rodgers (who didn’t play this week against the Patriots despite his pledge that he would return this season). Rodgers led comeback drives in each of the playoff wins, and was controversially ruled incomplete.
