"'Wasn't even close,' Stafford said, chuckling, on Wednesday. 'So at that point, I kind of reserved myself to just go play, have fun and whatever happens, happens. 'But it is cool to be a part of it.'"
"Stafford, who also was voted to the Pro Bowl in 2014 and 2023, is a leading contender for perhaps the NFL's most prestigious award - most valuable player. Stafford, 37, has passed for a league-leading 4,179 yards and 40 touchdowns, with five interceptions, while leading a Rams team that is 11-4 and currently seeded No. 6 in the NFC going into Monday night's game against the Atlanta Falcons (6-9) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium."
"The Rams are averaging 30.5 points and 396.7 yards per game, both tops in the NFL. They rank second in passing (270.5 yards per game) and fifth in rushing (126.3 yards per game)."
