After spending 12 seasons with the Detroit Lions, Matthew Stafford is finally going to the Super Bowl in his first year with the Los Angeles Rams.

Stafford was 0-3 in playoff games with the Lions. He's won three postseason games to get the Rams to Super Bowl LVI this month.

"Long time coming, you know? Spent a lot of years in this league and I've loved every minute of it," Stafford said. "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 for not only myself but, really, so many guys in that locker room that deserve this too. And that's what it is, it's an opportunity to go out there and win another one."

Sean  McVay was asked how Stafford has risen to the occasion this postseason.

"I think he's played like he's capable of," the coach responded. "Risen? I think he's played like we thought he would. No moment's too big for him, I can tell you that much. He's elevated everybody around him. We got one more, we know it's gonna be a great challenge."
