Matthew Stafford Sends Signed Jersey to Lions Fan Who Sold Memorabilia for Playoff Tickets

The Los Angeles Rams quarterback surprised a Detroit Lions fan with a game-worn jersey, showcasing his enduring connection to his former team.

Matthew Stafford, now with the Los Angeles Rams, sent a signed, game-worn Detroit Lions jersey to a fan who sold his Stafford memorabilia to afford playoff tickets for his daughter.
Bryson Machonga, a Lions fan from Wisconsin, sold his autographed Stafford jersey to attend the NFC Divisional Round game with his 8-year-old daughter.
Stafford's gesture, which included a personal message of thanks, was praised as a reflection of his character and his lasting appreciation for Lions fans.
The jersey was from the Lions' 2014 season, during which Stafford led the team to an 11-5 record, one of their best in recent years.
This act of kindness comes as Stafford confirms he plans to continue his NFL career, with his future with the Rams still uncertain.
