Only one quarterback was revered at Ford Field on Sunday night, and his name is Jared Goff.
Ahead of the Detroit Lions’ wild-card round game against the Los Angeles Rams, the Lions home crowd went crazy for Goff—and went straight at Matthew Stafford.
When Stafford ran onto the field for the Rams’ pregame warm-ups, he entered his former home stadium packed with thousands of Lions fans who weren’t shy about vocalizing their wrath and hostility. The boos immediately rained down on Stafford and pretty soon turned into deafening “Jared Goff” chants.

In one of the craziest twists of fate in the NFL this season, Matthew Stafford returns to Detroit for a playoff game. The quarterback who played 12 seasons for the Lions will make his first career postseason start at Ford Field. Except, he’ll do it as a member of the Los Angeles Rams.
It’s really crazy when you think about it that Stafford played 12 seasons for the Detroit Lions and the team never hosted a playoff game. That’s not all Stafford’s fault — the team hasn’t hosted a playoff game (until Sunday) since 1994.
The Turkish government arrested and will launch an investigation into an Israeli soccer player for supporting his country.
On Sunday, 28-year-old Sagiv Jehezkel scored a goal for his Turkish club Antalyaspor of the Trendyol Süper Lig. As part of his celebration, Jehezkel displayed a pro-Israel message written on the bandage covering his left hand.
The message read “100 Days, 7.10” and had a Star of David incorporated in the message. This refers to the Israel-Hamas conflict, which escalated Oct. 7 when Hamas attacked Israel.
Dallas came in as the heavy home favorite, but Green Bay ran up the score early and never looked back.

The Green Bay Packers made NFL history with their Wild Card win.
The Green Bay Packers just accomplished something that has never happened before in NFL history.
As a No. 2 seed, they defeated a No. 7 seed on Super Wild Card Weekend.
Since the NFL expanded the playoff field to 14 teams ahead of the 2020-2021 season, six No. 7 seeds have had the chance to pull off the upset on Wild Card Weekend. And before Sunday, all six of those teams lost.
The Cowboys suffered another devastating postseason defeat as Jordan Love excelled in his first playoff game, Aaron Jones scored three times and Dak Prescott threw a pick 6.
The Dallas Cowboys had a rough day on Sunday.
Hosting the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round of the playoffs, the Cowboys were basically dead on arrival, immediately collapsing in front of their home crowd as the Packers ran away with the game.
While fans at AT&T Stadium were obviously miserable, there was another stadium up north that was celebrating at the Cowboys’ downfall.
The Dallas Cowboys won the NFC East and earned the second seed in the conference. That granted them a guaranteed two home playoff games. If they won the first match against the Green Bay Packers, of course.
But, they didn’t. Not only did they lose, but they got completely embarrassed. The Packers jumped to a 27-0 lead with the help of two Dak Prescott interceptions in the first half — one of which was returned for a touchdown.
The Cowboys offense showed some life, scoring a touchdown just before half and then adding a field goal on their first drive of the second half.
The Dallas Cowboys entered the playoffs as Super Bowl contenders, but it looks like they are once again going to have their hopes come to an abrupt—and crushing—end thanks to their horrible showing Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.
The Cowboys kicked things off by falling behind 27–0 late in the first half and then continued to struggle in the second half.
Things got embarrassingly bad for Dallas late in the third quarter when the Packers scored on a 38-yard TD pass from Jordan Love to a wide-open Luke Musgrave.
Dez Bryant is speaking for all Dallas Cowboys fans on Sunday.
To the dismay of fans, the Cowboys have laid an egg in their wild-card round matchup against the Green Bay Packers, as America’s Team was trailing by 20 points at the half and is currently down by more than three touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
Cowboys fans are getting restless and even team owner Jerry Jones couldn’t bear to watch at one point. Former receiver Dez Bryant vented his frustrations with the Cowboys on X, formerly Twitter, sending out a series of messages throughout the game.
