Matthew Stafford Mic'd Up in Game-Winning Heroics vs. Browns (2009) | NFL Films Presents 

Stafford: "I can play right?" Trainers: "No No No No" Stafford: "Get the F... help me up"

I know it was a game in the regular season between two really bad teams, but this moment will be legendary for the rest of history.

You can hear him groan when his clueless team-mate smacks him on his busted shoulder.

He has a RING with the RAMS, but he's always had the HEART of a LION. Congratulations Matthew! 💍

Greatest micd up moment of alltime.......2nd best was when Stafford jumped over the goalline vs the cowboys

>8 seconds on the clock >4 minutes of video yep that's football

Mad respect for Stafford.

This is the game that made me a Stafford fan for life. And now he has the chance to play for a title. Even though he’s not playing for my team anymore, I am still rooting for him

How many idiots hit him on the shoulder in celebration?! Haha ouch.

Even as a Packers fan I reapect the hell out of Stafford. One incredible athlete right there and a real winner.

The adrenaline probably going through him is insane on the final snap

"Unedited" = has dramatic music playing

Every time I watch this I just feel so sorry for Stafford. He's got so much heart and the Lions couldn't protect him or put any weapons around him after his second season

Whos here after he got traded to the Rams

Video evidence of why every Detroit Lions fan revered this man

I'm a Lions fan so I'm biased, but this is the most unbelievable clip from NFL Films I've ever seen. Stafford with probably the ballsiest performance in ages. You throw in that sick music score and presto, instant classic. Ironically at 3:13 (Detroit's area code) the music changes from one majestic movement to another one, signifying the change of tone for that game.

My shoulder would separate also with the constant holding up of an entire franchise as it constantly burns around me

Underrated

What. A. Stud.

The Rams are about to get a legend in this man.

fighting tooth and nail against the BROWNS and now he’s heading to the super bowl. Matt Stafford deserves it more than anyone else this year

They're gonna play this at his HOF induction. The man has some epic highlights.

And now he’s going to the Super Bowl congrats! #MattStafford go get that ring.🏈 👏🏼🤜🏼🤛🏻😎

Watching this again after my qb for all these years finally going to the superbowl! I'm so happy for him and all of us Lions fans are grateful for his sacrifice for Detroit.

Had to return to this after he just made the super bowl

From EVERYONE in Michigan....Thank you for 12 amazing years, congrats on a Super Bowl win.... we're proud and damnit we love ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stafford is an underrated QB, has the arm strength and man those comebacks that kids pulls off.

he’s a champion now

Culpepper salty af 😂😂😂

I’m in a low point in life right now and I just watched this, and man it really brought me to tears

And now he's a Super Bowl CHAMPION.

I have to say Stafford is probably the 5th best qb right now. That guys arm is crazy and his ability to comeback in games is something special

omg the browns scored 37 points

What's most amazing to me is how quickly his leadership abilities kick in when he enters the huddle. Could barely speak 5 seconds before with the pain he was in but instantly became the field general his team needed at that moment. Rough game on Sunday but I love having this dude on my team now.

*Everyone avoids his shoulder.. #23: Good job boy. *Slaps his shoulder* Stafford: "Aahhhh!" 🤣🤣🤣

Man I’m gonna miss this legend in Detroit, one of the toughest players to ever play the game, and fastest Quarterback to 40k Passing yards. I hope you find yourself a ring on another team, good luck to you my boy.🔥✊

He’s a Super Bowl Champion now!

As a Packers fan, that man Stafford is the only QB in the North that makes me nervous when we're about to meet 'em. Nothing but respect for that man.

gosh I love Stafford!

That's my quarterback!

Welcome to the RAMS!!💙💛💙💛💙💛

Watching this after last nights wildcard game is crazy. How did Detroit boo him? I understand during the game, why cheer for the guy who’s trying to send you home. But at least a round of applause during pre-game 😵‍💫

His grit, his determination, his mettle, his will, all of it makes him INCREDIBLE.

One word: underrated Also, I don’t think tedy bruschi has ever seen this. “He’S NoT tOuGH eNoUgH to play in NE.” I’d like to see tedy throw a TD with a freshly dislocated shoulder.

This man will forever be a legend.

So glad I can see this in HD again.

Stafford’s a warrior. Tough as they come.

This play in and of itself should be enough to tell you that Stafford is one of the toughest SOBs to sling the rock, and probably enough to get him in the HOF. Holding up the Lions for 11 years takes a toll on a man

Now officially the greatest mic’s up moment. Stafford deserves his ring.

Take good care of him LA he is a hell of a QB -EVERY Lions fans.

I’ve seen this so many times that I have the play call memorized

I knew he always had this in him

And a Super Bowl champion... thx for all the great years in Detroit Matt.

Guys, I am a Cowboys fan... Almost ten years later and I had to return to see this again, so inspirational. Moments like this in sports remind us that we can overcome anything. Aaron Rodgers week 1, 2018 come back reminded me of this game.

Legendary

He’s a leader..I hope he wins this year

"Kind of stuff that endears you to a city" -> Me a closeted Stafford fan for 10+ years (Cause Im a Vikings fan)! SUPER EXCITED TO FINALLY SEE STAFFY BOI GET HIS CHANCE AT THE TITLE!

once the adrenaline wears off after the score, you can see the pain kick in instantly. damn. dude is a warrior.

Not a lions fan but a huge Stafford fan. It's so satisfying to go back to these videos and read old comments from haters. I can only imagine how Stafford feels right now! Win or lose he proved everyone wrong

You don't even have to be a lions fan to know this kid is just raw QB talent. He tends to win with less. Just wait till he has more. Much respect.

Dante Culpeper: god damnit matthew just stay out😭😭🤣

Discovering this moment made me watch the superbowl this year with some interest. I was happy he won with desire like that. Inspiring in this age of brand first athletes.

This was the moment the franchise set out on the path it is now. I am blessed that we walked the road we did to end up where the Lions are today. It took this moment to start the GRIT train! Let's keep rolling!! THANK YOU STAFFORD!

I've seen this clip so many times, still gives me chills

came back here after he won the SB. can't hate Stafford

Thanks for the memories, #9. Sorry our worthless franchise wasted you. Go get yourself a ring.

How can you not love this dude?

Stafford showed toughness and grit here

I remember watching this live, I'm not a Lions fan, but when balled out on that last drive the way he did, then came back with a separated shoulder just to try to get a win that had absolutely zero meaning or consequence other than salvaging pride... He became my favorite QB in the game that day. It's a shame his NFL career has been wasted by the Lions.

This man has to go to the Hall of Fame

Watching this game live & been a Lions fan since the 1960's. He won me over big time & been a believer in him since. When this happened I told myself they had a true leader as a QB & at that moment he won the respect of his team. It took him a year & 1/2 to be totally healthy again & everyone was calling him a china doll. But those hits he took that hurt him would have hurt anyone. He has now played in like 112 straight games & played thru broken & dislocated finger on his throwing hand a few times. Sprained ankles & knees & so many other injuries. They guy is as tuff as they come. He is finally earning the respect he deserves which I had when he was a rookie in 2009. Took 7-9 years for people to actually open their eyes to see how special this kid was.

wow. packer fan here and i had no idea about the character of Stafford, I don't really watch his games unless its against the packers. just gained a lot of respect from me.

He will always be a LION to me. If you haven't already for some unknown reason. PUT SOME RESPECT ON JOHN MATTHEW STAFFORD'S NAME!!!!

Watching this right after Stafford won the superbowl with the Rams, another 4th quarter comeback. What a legend.

Here minutes after Matt Stafford beat the bucs

Forever my favorite quarter back

As a Ram's fan I remembered this moment and I was confident that Stafford could win a Superbowl.

One of the greatest games I've ever seen and it was between two bad teams

I was at this game as a 10 year old boy… will forever be in my memory

A legend is born.

“Matthew Stafford, mind telling me what you’re doing with that football?” “Sir, finishing this fight”

how in the world has it been almost 13 YEARS since this happened? it still seems like itr was yesterday.

Brought some tears man.

I have MAD respect for Matthew Stafford. He played with heart, determination, courage, toughness, and guts. Great Job Matt!

I feel like this is probably why the whole city of Detroit was rooting for him in the super bowl.

So a few years ago the Boston museum of science had a bunch of items from the HOF and other football museums on display for a limited time. I got to see the jersey Stafford wore during this game there. It was in half. They had to cut the jersey open in order to get it and his pads off safely remove it without further hurting his ribs.

"I love you man" to megatron was great i love that

He's such the trooper, Stafford took that monster hit, and still he keeps on going and going and going.......

Well he had a dislocated shoulder and he still played? That guy has some balls 🎱⚽⚾🏈

As a Colts fan, I want this man in Indianapolis. He deserves so much more than Detroit ever gave him. He deserves a Super Bowl. This game still gives me the chills to this day.

That was one hell of a Mic's up episode!

My first year as a Lions fan at the age of 9 still love my city and this team....we started off 0-8 (technically 0-24 following from last season lol) but we finished 2-6 in the second half of this season 💯💯

That's my fkn boy!...built Ford tuff💪

Goddammit I love Stafford. I can't wait to see him be great in LA

Much respect to him

Stafford will get the ring he deserves!

Dude's been going to that dark place and snatchen Souls from chests since he entered this league. Go cement your legacy.

Damn, respect.

Turning point of our franchise!!! Love this guy and the grit he shows week in and week out

"yo puedo lanzar si tu necesitas que lance" guooooo Como Ram, no sabía de este momento de Stafford, y ahora, después de habernos guiado a obtener el Super Bowl, lo admiro aún más. Respect
