Matthew Stafford has put together a decorated career in the NFL despite not having any postseason success, racking up huge numbers during his time with the Lions and continuing to do so with the Rams.
On Sunday against his former team, he very fittingly threw his 300th career touchdown pass, hitting Cooper Kupp for a 2-yard score in the second quarter. Stafford had 282 touchdowns with the Lions and now has 18 with the Rams.
Here’s a look at the play, which tied Stafford with John Elway for 12th on the all-time list.
