Grammy-winning rapper Eminem has made a passionate plea to former Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, urging him to let the Lions secure their first Wild Card game and playoff win in over three decades. As a devoted Lions fan himself, Eminem is desperate to witness his team's advancement in the postseason, a feat he has not seen since he was a 19-year-old.

In a heartfelt video shared on social media, Eminem appealed directly to Stafford, who now plays for the Los Angeles Rams, the team set to face the Lions. Eminem reminded Stafford of their connection, recounting how he had supported him throughout his career, even dedicating rap verses to the quarterback. "Stafford, what'd I say? You owe me this favor, bro," Eminem exclaimed. "I was there for you when you won it. I rapped for you, Stafford! Can you just let us have this one? Just this one."

Eminem, known for his football-themed lyrics that highlight various players, including Tom Brady, Troy Polamalu, and LaDainian Tomlinson, also made mention of the historically unfortunate 0-16 Lions in his song "Legacy." The rapper's fervent hope is that if current Lions quarterback Jared Goff can guide the team to their first playoff victory since 1991, he may find himself recognized in an Eminem rap in the future.

Stafford, originally drafted by the Lions as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 draft, was traded to the Rams in a deal that involved Goff and multiple draft picks in 2021. Now, Stafford returns to his former home of Ford Field, aiming to derail the Lions' playoff aspirations.

The Lions, securing the No. 3 seed, closed the regular season with an impressive 12-5 record, clinching the top spot in the NFC North. The Rams, as the No. 6 seed, concluded their season at 10-7, placing second in the NFC West.

Eminem's plea to Stafford adds an exciting narrative to an already highly anticipated Wild Card matchup between the Lions and the Rams. As Detroit fans hope for a long-awaited playoff triumph, all eyes will be on Ford Field to see if the Lions can seize this golden opportunity and achieve a major victory in front of their faithful supporters.
