Feature: Matthew Stafford elicits "MVP" chants from home crowd, leads Rams to blowout win over Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football Nov 23, 2025 at 10:50 PM

 Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed his first 12 passes against the Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football.

As soon as Los Angeles got the ball, Stafford led the offense on a 10-play, 80-yard touchdown drive where he completed all eight of his pass attempts for 89 yards, capped off by a one-yard touchdown to wide receiver Davante Adams.

It was yet another surgical drive for Stafford that led to the Rams' fifth opening-drive touchdown of the season and fourth in the last five games. He completed eight-straight pass attempts to find pay dirt. So, even with the ball on the one-yard line, they didn't dare take the ball out of Stafford's hands when he was in his "soul snatcher" mode.

"Today it was early (I felt like I was in the zone)," Stafford said. "Sometimes it takes a minute to get into it, but today felt good. I thought Sean did a hell of a job kind of dialing it up for us early on and we were able to go put the pedal to the metal."
