Matthew Stafford

The Rams’ pursuit of a second championship in five seasons might’ve come up a few points shy, but Matthew Stafford, nonetheless, went out swinging the only way he knew how: with highlights and history on his side. Swift in his answer after Los Angeles fell into a second-half double-digit hole, Stafford turned to his trusted All-Pro go-to, dropping in a perfectly-placed 34-yard laser that allowed his star receiver to merely fall into a touchdown. Jan. 25, 2026’s result went in favor of the Seattle Seahawks, but not before first getting Stafford’s best shot. Stafford tossed for 374 yards (on 22-of-35), three touchdowns, and no turnovers in the 31-27 loss, making him NFL history’s first to record said numbers in a defeat.
