00:00 John as you know now the line will face the LA Rams Matthew Stafford and the LA Rams in the first round of the NFL
00:05 playoffs pretty
00:07 Immense matchup there and really the NFL couldn't have scripted it any better here for the Lions in the first round
00:12 John what is your take on this matchup for the Lions in the first round of the postseason?
00:17 Yeah, Vito. Look the the word of the year for all Lions is manifest
00:22 we manifested the game that everybody really I think that when you look at it outside and
00:28 Supporters of the National Football League. There's so much to look at so much so many storylines so much
00:34 Interwoven in regards to these two football teams, you know starting with Brad Holmes who came from the Rams Jared Goff
00:42 The veteran signal caller who was casted off by Sean McVeigh you recognize that really the key storyline
00:48 I think early on is gonna be the return of Matthew Stafford for the first time to Ford Field since the trade and
00:54 Yes, I think it's going to split the fan base a little bit those that supported and still support Matthew Stafford
01:00 versus the diehards who really believe that the the support should go to Jared Goff right now and to not wear any Matthew Stafford jerseys just
01:08 Disregard the fact that number nine ever showed up or played for the Lions
01:13 So you got a split fan base right there and then you recognize to veto
01:16 The Rams are one of the hottest teams in all of the NFL seven of their last eight games
01:21 They've been victorious and now they come to Ford Field the Detroit Lions are trying to take the next step forward in their journey
01:29 Trying to become a playoff winner not just showing up to the playoffs but appearing and playing well
01:34 So this is a matchup that I think is really intriguing
01:37 Sunday night in front of a nationally televised audience Ford Field is going to be very passionate
01:44 I think the fan base is going to be excited and
01:46 Really? I think will play a large part in the Lions potentially having success against the Rams. I can't see really any negatives
01:53 I understand people are a little bit nervous
01:55 Regarding Stafford and his connection with his top wideouts the fact that you know
02:01 You know, you still have Aaron Donald who can wreak havoc for any quarterback
02:05 But when I look at the contest veto
02:07 I just see a Lions team that has so much momentum coming off of a 12-1 regular season knowing that they've been
02:14 Also scarred and dealt with adversity and I do believe that what happened the events that transpired in Dallas are
02:22 Gonna bode well for the Detroit Lions moving forward
02:25 So veto this week is going to be really really intriguing in regards to all the attention all the outside noise
02:32 Regarding this football game, but in the end, it's still two football teams that are gonna battle on a Sunday
02:37 And I think the Lions have an edge
02:39 John, thanks for the insight
