"CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- As Matthew Stafford walked out onto the field late in the fourth quarter with the chance to give the Los Angeles Rams the lead in their playoff game over the Carolina Panthers, he turned to Davante Adams. "Let's go snatch these guys' hearts," Stafford told the wide receiver, with the Rams trailing 31-27 in Charlotte. Stafford led the Rams to a 34-21 victory with a seven-play, 71-yard drive that ended with a touchdown pass to tight end Colby Parkinson."
""It was pretty cold, just to hear that," Adams said. "And I actually literally smiled in the moment because I thought that was one of the most gangster things you could say at that moment, honestly. And to hear him say that and the look on his face and then throw that touchdown and then the look on his face after that was just MVP stuff.""
Matthew Stafford orchestrated a late comeback to lead the Los Angeles Rams past the Carolina Panthers, culminating in a seven-play, 71-yard drive finished by a Colby Parkinson touchdown. Stafford motivated Davante Adams with a spirited sideline exhortation before the drive. Stafford played through a hand injury sustained when a finger was bent back on a second-down pass to Puka Nacua but remained effective, finishing with 24 completions on 42 attempts for 304 yards and multiple touchdowns. He also connected with Kyren Williams for a go-ahead score in the fourth quarter. He had been named to the NFC first-team All-Pro earlier that day.
