Matthew Stafford adds another record to his storied career

For the second straight year, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford broke a record set by a Hall of Fame quarterback. Stafford accomplished more than just a much-needed victory over the Seattle Seawhaks.

Stafford's continued solid streak of play has helped keep the Rams afloat this season. His productive season has also resulted in some personal accolades.

Last week, Stafford passed former Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino for ninth place on the all-time completions list, equaling his 4,968th. pass of his career.

This week, Stafford would pass Marino again. This time, however, it was about a different performance. It's a performance that may mean more since it resulted in multiple wins for the Rams.

“Sarah Barshop of ESPN noted that according to the Elias Sports Bureau, “Matthew Stafford's game-winning touchdown pass today was his 13th career game-winning touchdown pass in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime.”

“That made Dan Marino the second best since the merger in 1970, behind only Tom Brady’s 14.”

While the win was undoubtedly the most important stat of the day, it's worth noting that Stafford is one of the best quarterbacks in league history. He has been in the league for well over a decade but continues to perform at a respectable level.

In his 16 seasons in the league, Stafford has thrown for nearly 60,000 yards. He was the glue that held this Rams team together this season after it looked like it was going nowhere fast. His outstanding play was on display again on Sunday against the Seahawks.

A record that has stood for decades now belongs to Stafford. If the Rams continue to play well, a lot more could be theirs. With the Rams sitting just outside of first place in the division with several winnable games, they have a chance to move to the top of the division.

Stafford completed 25 of his 44 passes for nearly 300 yards and two touchdowns, including a game-winning touchdown drive in overtime. Sunday's game against the Seahawks was another reminder that the Rams always have a chance as long as they have Stafford under center.
