Everyone's Saying the Same Thing About Matthew Stafford After Defeating Cardinals
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford continues to be a polarizing player in the National Football League.
Prior to his stellar performance against the Arizona Cardinals, the debate again waged on regarding the 33-year-old's capability of leading his team to victory against a quality opponent.
Last week, Dan Orlovsky and Stephen A. Smith even debated on ESPN which quarterback they would want for one game (Stafford or Cardinals starting QB Kyler Murray), ahead of the Monday Night Football contest that featured two of the best teams in the league.
"I felt good about it," Stafford said, following the Rams' 30-23 victory. "There were some things that you obviously want back ... but, I felt like we managed the game really well."
"We're playing good," said Aaron Donald. "We ain't arrived. We still got to do things to get us in a great position that we want to be in."
Prior to the road victory, Stafford had a record of 0-17 against teams that were five games or more above .500, 0-9 against teams that had 10 wins or more and 10-70 against teams with a winning record.
That all changed with the performance Stafford had in front of a nationally televised audience against the Cardinals, as he finished 23-of-30 for 287 yards and three touchdowns.
The victory also ended the veteran quarterback's three-game losing streak on Monday Night Football.
Here is a sample of the reaction to Stafford and the Rams' Week 14 performance.
