Peter King Predicts Stafford Will Win Lombardi Trophy in Debut Season

Matthew Stafford wanted so desperately to play for the Los Angeles Rams, in order to play in more meaningful National Football League games.

The veteran signal-caller understood the position the Detroit Lions were in, as they were set to embark on a long retooling process after dismissing general manager Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia.

Stafford's first offseason with the Rams has seen some pretty lofty expectations levied upon him, and a major reason why is that he has been paired with one of the elite offensive minds in the game in Rams head coach Sean McVay.

In his weekly Football Morning in America column, NFL reporter Peter King revealed his 2021 season predictions, and supporters of the Rams should be quite happy.

"I’m picking a Rams-Bills Super Bowl. Obvious rejoinder: What’s wrong with Kansas City and Tampa Bay? You had them ranked 1-2 in the spring," King writes. "The answer is, Nothing. I really liked the Bills and Rams when I went to their camps. I think it’s Buffalo’s breakthrough year, and I think Matthew Stafford gives the Rams the kind of offensive confidence and explosiveness they haven’t had since we all thought Jared Goff was The Answer, in early 2018."

According to King, the Rams will defeat the Bills in Super Bowl LVI, 33-24.

For the second consecutive season, an NFL team hoists the Lombardi Trophy at its home stadium, as SoFI Stadium is the site of the upcoming season's Super Bowl.
