Quick Summary

Matthew Stafford broke NFL history on Sunday when he surpassed Roman Gabriel’s career passing touchdown record with his 155th touchdown pass for the Los Angeles Rams against the Las Vegas Raiders. This makes Stafford the first quarterback to hold the all-time passing touchdown lead for two different franchises, having previously achieved this feat with the Detroit Lions. In addition to breaking the record, Stafford threw three touchdowns in the first half of the game, contributing significantly to his team’s effort in what was a crucial match for the Rams who are seeking to improve their standing in the NFC West division.

Story summary

The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 35-21 on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium, reviving their playoff hopes after a slow start. Matthew Stafford set the franchise record for career touchdown passes with three in the game, while the Rams' running backs combined for 39 carries and 198 yards, establishing dominance early and maintaining control despite the Raiders' late push. The victory improved the Rams' record to 3-4, crucially coming after a week of significant injuries that sidelined key players like Davante Adams and Poona Ford. Coach Sean McVay's strategic adjustments, particularly emphasizing physicality and running game effectiveness, were pivotal in this turnaround performance. Meanwhile, Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins had an amusing but ultimately irrelevant hot mic moment early in the game as his team struggled to keep pace with the Rams' resurgence. Despite their fourth straight loss, the Raiders remain competitive, but the Rams now look more like the Super Bowl contenders they were expected to be at the season's outset.
