Almost three years ago, a blockbuster trade sent shockwaves throughout the NFL world. Now, it is being regarded as one of the most perfect trades, a Super Bowl-worthy trade! The trade of Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff by the Los Angeles Rams and the Detroit Lions proved fruitful for all the parties involved.

The Rams received one of the most consistent quarterbacks in the game. And the Lions received a younger QB with a ton of potential along with several picks in the NFL Draft over three years. Here’s a breakdown of how both teams succeeded in their own right.

A Super Bowl victory for the Rams

Under the leadership & control of Goff, the Rams advanced to the Super Bowl in the 2018-19 season. However, they suffered a loss at the hands of the New England Patriots. The 13-3 loss haunted the Rams, and they knew things needed to be changed. After the trade, in 2021, the Rams once again went to the Super Bowl.

Even though, the Rams have failed to achieve that success in the next two seasons. But the second Super Bowl win in the franchise’s history is worth that to the Rams. On the other hand, the Lions got a lot.

The Lions at their very best

The trade gave the Lions along with QB Goff a couple of 1st round picks, two more 2nd round picks, & a couple of 3rd round picks over three years. They utilized these picks to restructure their entire unit. And the final result gave them something they had never had in their long history.

In the Super Bowl era, the Lions had never played for conference championships. They had never won two back-to-back playoff games in 38 years. The Lions achieved mind-boggling success this season. And they look even stronger for the upcoming seasons.
