Rap legend Eminem has made a heartfelt plea to quarterback Matthew Stafford ahead of the Detroit Lions' wild-card round matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. After years of dedicating his support to Stafford and the Lions, Eminem is hoping for a favor in return.

In a video directed at Stafford and shared by "Sunday Night Football" on X, Eminem humorously reminded the quarterback of their shared history, referencing their presence at Super Bowl LI's halftime show. "You owe me this favor, bro," Eminem exclaimed. "I rapped for you, Stafford!"

While some may perceive Eminem's appeal as lighthearted banter, the Detroit native's fervent support for his city's sports teams is well-known. Eminem has been a vocal fan of the Lions for many years, especially during Stafford's tenure as the team's leader and first overall draft pick.

However, with Stafford now leading the Rams, Eminem has shifted his allegiance to current Lions quarterback Jared Goff. Goff's outstanding performances, along with the contributions of budding rookies Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorta and veteran players like Amon-Ra St. Brown and David Montgomery, propelled the Lions to their first NFC North division title since 1993.

Securing the third seed with a 10-6 regular-season record, the Lions are determined to make their mark in the playoffs under the guidance of head coach Dan Campbell, who is renowned for his aggressive approach. Stafford's lethal passing game, orchestrated by head coach Sean McVay, remains as potent as it was during their Super Bowl run in 2021. The Rams also boast rookie sensation Puka Nacua and standout receiver Cooper Kupp, along with the powerful running game of Kyren Williams.

Anticipated as a high-scoring affair, the matchup between the Lions and Rams promises excitement for fans. Nevertheless, Eminem hopes that his steadfast support for Stafford over the years will be reciprocated with a victory for the Lions, propelling them to the next round of the playoffs.

As kickoff approaches, the expectation is set for an intense battle on the field, punctuated by the underlying storyline of Eminem's loyal fandom. Will Stafford be able to grant Eminem's request and allow the Lions to move forward in the playoffs? Only time will tell.
