Matthew Stafford was not amused by the 'Jared Goff' chants

When Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford took the field before Sunday night’s game in Ford Field against the Detroit Lions, he was greeted by the fans with a familiar cacophony around Michigan these days.

“Ja-Red Goff! Ja-Red Goff!”

It’s quite a turn for Stafford, the longtime Lions quarterback and owner of nearly every statistical passing record in Detroit franchise history. Dealt after the 2020 season for Goff and a whole lot more, Stafford is now the enemy. The fans who used to cheer loudly for Stafford are now loudly praising his successor instead.

After the game, Stafford was asked if he was over the Goff chants in his former home. A curt Stafford quickly acknowledged the chant and very clearly was ready to move on.

Hopefully this ends the melodramatic discourse about a player who hasn’t been in Detroit in four seasons.
