Can Matthew Stafford Defy the Odds and Break His Own TD Pass Streak Without a Single Interception?

At 37 years old, Matthew Stafford is rewriting the script for what a quarterback’s prime can look like. The Rams, flaunting an impressive 9-2 record, owe much of their surge to Stafford’s dazzling stats that seem to defy both age and expectation. With a passer rating soaring to 113.7—well beyond his previous career best—and an eye-popping 30 touchdown throws against a mere two interceptions, he’s not just playing; he’s dominating. What’s truly jaw-dropping? Stafford has hurled 27 touchdowns since his last interception, setting an all-time record that could keep stretching as the season unfolds. The stakes have never been higher as the Rams eye home-field advantage, an MVP trophy, and a tantalizing Super Bowl run, propelled by the arm and will of their seasoned leader. Every game from here on out tells a compelling chapter in this gripping story. LEARN MORE

At age 37, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is having his best season ever. Beyond the team’s 9-2 record — which has them contending for the No. 1 seed in the NFC — Stafford’s numbers are beyond impressive.

Stafford’s passer rating is 113.7. (His full-season career high is 106.0.) He has 30 touchdown passes and only two interceptions.

And he has thrown 27 touchdown passes since his last interception. It’s an all-time record, and it could keep going.

Stafford’s most recent interception came 10 weeks ago, in a loss at Philadelphia that was on the brink of being a win. He’ll put the streak on the line, and attempt to extend it, at Carolina on Sunday.

Through it all, the Rams are stacking wins. After Carolina, they visit the Cardinals before hosting Stafford’s former team, the Lions. Next comes a short-week rematch with the Seahawks in Seattle, followed by games against the Falcons and Cardinals to wrap things up.

It’s all there for the taking. Home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. MVP award. Two wins away from the Super Bowl.

Of all the reasons for the Rams’ success, Stafford is the biggest reason for it.
