"The Rams are headed to Carolina for the playoffs. Their 37-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at SoFi Stadium, combined with the Atlanta Falcons' victory over the New Orleans Saints, helped the Rams move up to the No. 5 seed for the NFC playoffs. The Rams earned a rematch against the No. 4 seed Panthers, who defeated the Rams at Bank of America Stadium in Week 13 but are the only playoff team with a losing record (8-9)."
"Stafford started slowly, narrowly avoiding several interceptions, but came on in the second half and finished with a flourish in his last chance to make his case for his first NFL most valuable player award. He led three consecutive touchdown drives after the Rams fell behind 20-16 in the third quarter. Stafford completed 25 of 40 passes for 259 yards and connected with tight end Colby Parkinson for two touchdowns and Nacua and tight end Tyler Higbee for one each. Stafford finished with a league-leading 46 touchdown passes and 4,707 yards passing."
Rams secured the No. 5 NFC seed with a 37-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals and will travel to Carolina for a playoff rematch against the No. 4 Panthers. Matthew Stafford threw four touchdown passes, finished the season with a league-leading 46 touchdown passes and 4,707 yards, and led three consecutive touchdown drives after a third-quarter deficit. Puka Nacua caught a touchdown, increased his NFL-leading receptions total, and the defense provided enough support as the team rebounded from setbacks to finish 12-5. Seedings placed the Seahawks No. 1 with a first-round bye and other NFC matchups were set.
