On March 18th of this year, the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams made a trade that shook up the football world. The Lions sent their franchise quarterback of 12 years and all-time leading passer, Matthew Stafford to the Rams for THEIR franchise QB, Jared Goff. The two square off Sunday in Los Angeles.
Stafford has done well by L.A. rewarding them with the sixth highest scoring offense in the league and the fourth best passing attack. Individually Stafford is tied for third in the NFL with 16 passing touchdowns and his 116.6 passer rating is second only to Russell Wilson's 125.3. All this while leading the Rams to a 5-1 record and first place in NFC West.
Goff's experience could not be more different or worse for that matter. The Lions are 0-6 on the season, while their offense is ranked 28th in the NFL. Detroit hasn't scored over 17 points since their 33-point performance in week one. Goff's numbers are what you would expect in an offense like that, bottom tier. He's ranked 22nd in passer rating (86.9).

To make things worse for Goff, he's also been publicly challenged by his head coach Dan Campbell. "I feel like he needs to step up more than he has," Campbell told reporters after last week's 34-11 loss to the Bengals. "I think he needs to help us...He's going to need to put a little bit of weight on his shoulders here and its time to step up and make some throws and do some things."
The Rams are HUGE 15-point favorites against the Lions. The over/under is 50.5.
