RecapMatthew Stafford completed 26-of-43 passes for 228 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Rams’ 20-13, Week 9 win over the Commanders.
It was an uneven day for Stafford and the Rams, who managed just six points in the first half of this one. Stafford threw 19 of his 43 targets to Puka Nacua, who was unsurprisingly his most reliable receiver of the day, as the two connected 14 times for 150 yards and a touchdown. Stafford’s lone touchdown pass of the day came on a seven-yard pass to Nacua in the back of the end zone, which gave the Rams a 20-13 lead early in the fourth quarter. This marks back-to-back pedestrian outings for Stafford, who has thrown for 385 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in his last two games. Stafford will be a fringe QB1/QB2 next week on the road against the Cardinals.
