Matthew Stafford makes unwanted NFL history at worst possible time in Rams’ crushing loss
Matthew Stafford threw the 33rd pick-six of his career against the Broncos, passing Brett Favre for the most in NFL history during the Rams’ 30-26 loss.
Matthew Stafford made an unwanted mark in NFL history during the Rams' devastating loss to the Denver Broncos. The quarterback threw three pick-sixes, surpassing the previous record of 32 held by Brett Favre. Stafford's record-breaking performance occurred at Mile High, where he threw a pick-six to Denver Broncos safety Talanoa Hufanga, who returned it 66 yards for a touchdown with just 4:49 left in the fourth quarter.
The mistake proved costly for the Rams, who fell to a 30-26 defeat. Stafford, a 38-year-old reigning MVP, could not have made such a significant error at that stage of the game. Despite his earlier efforts to stop Denver's second-half rally, Hufanga's interception sealed the game for the Broncos.
