Matthew Stafford refuses to slow down after accomplishing rare NFL

Matthew Stafford is showing no signs of slowing down after a historic MVP season put the Rams quarterback alongside Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and some of the greatest passers in NFL history.

Matthew Stafford refuses to slow down after accomplishing rare NFL

Matthew Stafford, the Los Angeles Rams quarterback, continues to defy expectations after a stellar 2025 season at age 37. Stafford achieved the rare feat of leading the NFL in both passing yards and touchdowns while keeping interceptions to a minimum. This marks the fifth time in league history that a quarterback has done so, joining an elite group that includes Patrick Mahomes, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Kurt Warner.

Stafford's MVP win comes just a year after the Detroit Lions drafted him with the top pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. With Rams coach Sean McVay at his side, Stafford has transformed Los Angeles into a high-octane offense, setting him up for a potential return to the Super Bowl. At 37, Stafford's numbers suggest he's only getting better with age, and his story may yet have more chapters to write.
