Matthew Stafford is still one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL when it comes to putting together go-ahead drives. He’s been pulling off comeback magic basically his whole career. Will Stafford be able to do it again?
And here’s another reality, the Los Angeles Rams have lost their last few playoff games by failing to take a lead late in the game. That happened against the Detroit Lions, the Philadelphia Eagles and last year against the Seattle Seahawks.
Of course, to be fair, the defense and or special teams haven’t quite held up their end in some cases either. Still though, there is an argument to be made that the Rams have been just one more drive away from putting together some special seasons the last few years, and they’ve come up short.
That’s not exactly on Stafford, but it does show that Stafford needs more than just his own magic to go on another Super Bowl run. He needs the team to back him up too.

Aaron Donald told Chris Simms he’s still unsure about a comeback (ramswire)
“As training camp approaches for the Los Angeles Rams, all anyone is talking about is Aaron Donald’s future. The former All-Pro defensive tackle is considering a return to football, which would end his two-year retirement in order to chase another Super Bowl ring.
There’s no clear timeline for a decision to be made, and it could even spill into the regular season, but the Rams aren’t going to rush or push him. Donald hasn’t spoken publicly about his plans, only telling Pat McAfee and Jordan Schultz last month that he’s considering a comeback.“
Best fantasy performances in Los Angeles Rams history (sfweekly)
“Every season in the NFL produces performances that feel less like a single game and more like statistical outliers — explosive outings where quarterbacks pile up passing yards, running backs break off long scoring runs, and receivers turn routine targets into multi-touchdown afternoons. These are the kinds of games that separate good fantasy weeks from historic ones.
Stacker compiled a ranking of the best fantasy performances in Los Angeles Rams history using data from Stathead. The list includes the highest single-game fantasy scores by quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers/tight ends across the franchise’s history, based on standard fantasy scoring.“
