Rams’ Matthew Stafford Accomplished Something No QB in NFL History Ever Has

In the Rams' clash with the Bills, Matthew Stafford achieved an NFL feat that no other quarterback has ever achieved before.

On Monday Night Football, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford accomplished an unparalleled achievement in NFL history. The reigning NFL Most Valuable Player threw his 150th touchdown pass of his career while representing the Rams, making him the only player ever to record 150 touchdown passes for two different teams. Stafford previously played for the Detroit Lions from 2009 to 2020.

In the game against the Buffalo Bills, Stafford demonstrated his exceptional skill, completing 40 of 54 passes for 383 yards and three touchdowns. Two of his touchdowns were to Rams players Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, with the rest coming throughout the game. Despite setting the record, the Rams ultimately lost the game to the Bills in overtime, ending their 3-2 season start.

The thrilling matchup at SoFi Stadium may have been a preview of the Super Bowl, but the Rams fell to a 2-3 record. Many considered the team to be Super Bowl favorites, but injury concerns have plagued them since the beginning of the season, including the trade of Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Cleveland Browns for arthroscopic left knee surgery. Garrett's return is uncertain, leaving the Rams to focus on Stafford's historic feat, which has firmly placed him among the elite quarterbacks in the league.
