Stafford Throws 3 Picks in 27-24 Loss to Falcons, Clouding MVP Case

Sean McVay plans to play his starters in Week 18 with the 11-5 Rams still uncertain of their playoff seed.

Overview

  • The three interceptions were his first such outing since the 2022 opener, and one was returned for a touchdown.
  • He has six interceptions over his last five games and eight this season after an earlier eight-game, no-pick streak that surpassed Tom Brady’s mark.
  • Los Angeles dropped to 11-5 in the 27-24 defeat, placing the team as the projected No. 6 wild-card seed in the updated playoff outlook.
  • Season production remains prolific for the quarterback with 42 touchdown passes and a 70.1 QBR.
  • Postgame, he detailed the errors, crediting Xavier Watts for jumping a third-down route, acknowledging a sideline throw left short to Xavier Smith, and saying he should have thrown away the pass intercepted by Jessie Bates.
