Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford will make his return to Detroit on Sunday, Jan. 14 at 8:15 p.m. ET. The Detroit Lions versus Los Angles Rams game will be televised on NBC.
Detroit legend Eminem is asking for a favor from former Georgia quarterback Stafford as he plays in Detroit for the first time since the Lions traded him in 2021.
The Lions are hosting the Rams in their first home playoff game since 1994. Eminem performed during the halftime of the 2022 Super Bowl, where the Rams defeated the Bengals to give Stafford his only career Super Bowl victory. Now, Eminem is asking for Stafford to return the favor.
Can you just let us have this one?
Eminem and all of Detroit will be watching Stafford, who spent 12 seasons with the Lions and was the first pick in the 2009 NFL draft, as he takes on their precious Detroit Lions.

Stafford helped the Lions make the playoffs for the first time since 1999, but was unable to win a postseason game during his time with Detroit. He holds most of Detroit’s passing records.
Stafford bounced back and threw for 3,965 yards and 24 touchdowns this season. Stafford was selected to the Pro Bowl and is hoping to make another Super Bowl run.
