Stafford is 10th all time in passing yards with 59,809. He is 10th all time in passing touchdowns. Stafford has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbnation.com\/super-bowl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Super Bowl<\/a> ring; including three game-winning drives in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turfshowtimes.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Los Angeles Rams<\/a> 2021-2022 playoff run. But there are two other categories that stand out about the signature play of Matthew Stafford. And he is closing in Tom Brady for those records\u2026<\/p>\n<p>4th Quarter Comebacks<\/p>\n<p id=\"LTmWpC\">Stafford currently sits in a tie at fourth with Matt Ryan with 38 career fourth quarter comebacks. Tom Brady is first with 46. That may seem like a large gap but with the increase in regular season games, Stafford is going to have an opportunity to overtake this record in the next two seasons. If Stafford plays in all 34 regular season games, he will need to record a 4th comeback once approximately every four games.<\/p>\n<p id=\"lM3bY4\">The Rams 2025 schedule should feature a lot of opportunities for Stafford. Facing a first place schedule means Stafford will have to earn wins against the likes of the: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleedinggreennation.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prideofdetroit.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Detroit Lions<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.battleredblog.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Houston Texans<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baltimorebeatdown.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Baltimore Ravens<\/a>, and of course a physical NFC West division.<\/p>\n<p id=\"0ADHuf\">As a Ram, Stafford has 7 4th quarter comebacks. <\/p>\n<p>Game-Winning Drives<\/p>\n<p id=\"Nl7e7A\">As for game-winning drives, Stafford is 5th all-time with 49. Brady is in first place at 58. Stafford racked up five game-winning drives in 2024. So if he can replicate that type of season over the next two years, he would overtake the former Patriot and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bucsnation.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Buccaneers<\/a> quarterback. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Matthew Stafford really threw a no-look pass on the game-winning drive in the Super Bowl. <\/p>\n<p>Cooper Kupp: \u201cThat was probably the best no-looker of his life. I saw the lane and he fit it right in there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So gutsy and so awesome. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lRVGgAvyzk\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/lRVGgAvyzk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MySportsUpdate\/status\/1493224348513185803?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">February 14, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"pfRGhu\">Stafford has 11 game-winning drives in 57 games with the Rams. That\u2019s roughly one game-winning drive every five games. If Stafford wants to overtake Brady, he will need to showcase a little more frequent magic in 2025 and 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Milestones &amp; Numbers<\/p>\n<p>One more 4th quarter comeback will give Matthew Stafford sole possession of 4th place all-time; breaking a tie with Matt Ryan<br \/>\nOne more GWD will give Matthew Stafford 50 for his career<br \/>\nBrady averaged 2.00 4th quarter comebacks per season; Matthew Stafford averages 2.38 per season<br \/>\nBrady averaged 2.52 game-winning drives per season; Matthew Stafford averages 3.06 per season<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has a lot of proponents across the NFL and will likely be a Hall&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":113960,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2079],"tags":[2763,28467,7,29,853,723,142,1014,58,2444,2611,3310,6,424,2574,3177,1398,149,2618,2617,6517],"class_list":{"0":"post-113959","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-rams","8":"tag-all","9":"tag-drives","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-front-page","12":"tag-game","13":"tag-in","14":"tag-is","15":"tag-los-angeles","16":"tag-los-angeles-rams","17":"tag-losangeles","18":"tag-losangelesrams","19":"tag-matthew","20":"tag-nfl","21":"tag-rams","22":"tag-show","23":"tag-stafford","24":"tag-th","25":"tag-time","26":"tag-times","27":"tag-turf","28":"tag-winning"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114648562003843097","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113959\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/113960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=113959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=113959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
