Rams’ Matthew Stafford Moves Up To 6th All-Time In Passing Touchdowns

Death, taxes, and Matthew Stafford slinging absolute darts into the record books.

Racking up his third touchdown of “Monday Night Football” against the New York Giants, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford eclipsed Philip Rivers for sixth place all-time on the NFL’s career passing touchdown list.

In the third quarter, Stafford’s 11-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Davante Adams put him at 426 regular-season TDs in his career. In the fourth quarter, he added another touchdown pass, ultimately leading Los Angeles to a 28-6 victory with four total passing TDs to his name.

On the all-time list, Stafford is now behind Brett Favre (508), Aaron Rodgers (528), Peyton Manning (539), Drew Brees (571) and Tom Brady (649).

But the career passing touchdown list isn’t the only thing that Stafford rewrote in the NFL’s history books; he also became just the second player ever to have 25 or more three-passing-TD games for multiple teams, according to ESPN Research. Stafford has 25 for the Rams, while another 42 were tallied with the Detroit Lions.

The only other quarterback, Peyton Manning, put up 64 with the Indianapolis Colts and 29 with the Denver Broncos.

You have to love Matthew Stafford, man.

He won his ring, he’s stacking all-time milestones on what feels like a weekly basis at this point, and he’s still out here carving up defenses with that trademark sidearm whip like he’s in the prime of his career.

More than anything, watching him continue to dominate just exposes how badly the Detroit Lions wasted over a decade of this pure talent. I don’t mean to bring up the horror years, Lions fans, but it just has me thinking.

Stafford wasn’t the problem whatsoever in Motown, hell, he was the only reason the franchise had a pulse. He dragged atrocious rosters, nonexistent run games, and incompetent coaching staffs to whatever little relevance they had at the time.

He then gets dropped into an elite, competent organization with an actual scheme and real weapons under Sean McVay, and hoists the Lombardi Trophy in year one. And, now, he’s steadily kicking down the door to top-five status on every all-time passing leaderboard.

Matthew Stafford was a generational talent this whole time, and we’re just now seeing it … damn.
