Former Georgia QB Matthew Stafford is going to the Super Bowl

Stafford’s first SB appearance in 13 seasons…

Former Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford is headed to the Super Bowl for the first time in his 13-year NFL career.

Stafford helped lead the L.A. Rams past the 49ers 20-17 on Sunday night in the NFC Championship, completing 31 of 45 passes for 337 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

The numbers tell us Stafford is a sure-fire Hall of Famer, but during his career Detroit, he was never given a support staff to make a deep playoff run.

Stafford has that in L.A., and it’s refreshing to see.

Watch Georgia great Matthew Stafford in one of the best mic’d up moments ever here.

Former Georgia Bulldog All-American Matthew Stafford is widely considered as one of the toughest quarterbacks in the NFL. 

After 12 seasons with the Detroit Lions, Stafford will be bringing his toughness to the L.A. Rams next season after a blockbuster trade involving draft picks and Rams quarterback Jared Goff was finalized on Saturday. 

Here’s a little preview of what to expect Rams fans:
