The Rams are on a win streak and QB Matthew Stafford is barely getting touched. These are related

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:18:50 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Although most NFL teams are exponentially better when their starting quarterback is upright and healthy, it’s been particularly true for the Los Angeles Rams over the past three seasons.Matthew Stafford has been safe and comfortable in the pocket lately, and it’s no coincidence the Rams are on their longest winning streak since their Super Bowl triumph.Stafford has been sacked only once during the Rams’ three straight victories since their bye week. He has barely been touched at all in the past two weeks, with Arizona and Cleveland registering just five combined quarterback hits and no sacks.Meanwhile, the Rams (6-6) have jumped into an NFC playoff race that appeared to be out of their reach only a month ago, thanks to this stretch of exceptional protection and smart play-calling designed to keep their franchise quarterback doing what he does best.“It’s always a goal,” coach Sean McVay said Monday. “The guys have done a great job of executi...

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — While the New Orleans Saints have time to salvage this season and a relatively weak upcoming schedule, they may have hit a new low point.The Saints (5-7) have lost three straight for the first time this season to fall a full game behind first-place Atlanta in the NFC South.Starting quarterback Derek Carr is in the concussion protocol for the second time in a month and also has throwing shoulder and rib injuries — all of which leave his status in doubt for upcoming games.Then there’s the developing Michael Thomas situation.The two-time All-Pro receiver, who is currently on injured reserve for at least two more games, put out a series of seemingly critical posts about Carr on social media during Sunday’s 33-28 loss to Detroit.While the Superdome crowd was booing in response to an interception Carr threw on New Orleans’ opening offensive play, Thomas posted on X (formerly Twitter) that receiver A.T. Perry was “wide open.” The insinuation was that Ca...
