Vlookup with multiple matches

I'm trying to cascade vlookups based off of one entry. I've been using Vlookup for a long time now and know it has a few drawbacks, and I'm hitting both of them with this example. I know it's not the proper formula to use so I'm looking for your help.

What I want to do is type in a quarterback's name in to A2. that then pulls that QB's data out of one matrix and sticks it on the second row. I then want to pull all of the intended receivers for that QB's team in rows 6-20, by matching their team to the quarterback's. In this case, I'm using Matthew Stafford from Detroit, and then looking for Detroit in the receivers matrix.

Problem 1: I know its possible, but I don't know how to search the second column in a vlookup, but still pull the players' names from the first column.

Problem 2: If I do a basic vlookup with multiple matches, it always displays the first one. Is there any way to have it go down the list and enter them in order?
