Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has been one of the best signal-callers in the NFL during his career with the Detroit Lions and Rams. His ability to find open receivers downfield and connect with them has been electric at times.
On Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, Stafford etched his name into the NFL record books.
Matthew Stafford Sets Historic Mark Against Ravens
What did he do? Stafford connected with one of his receivers and moved his career passing yards total to 61,365.
With that mark, Stafford moved past Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino into ninth place for most passing yards in NFL history. Stafford has completed 7-of-13 passes for 76 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions against the Ravens.

Stafford does not have a touchdown pass in the game, but the Rams are just down 3-0 early in the second quarter. The Rams hope to reach the end zone at some point, hopefully on a Stafford TD pass, too.
Entering the Ravens game, the Rams, according to the PFSN NFL Offense Impact metrics, had an 83.3 Offense Impact Score and graded out with a B. Los Angeles entered the game against Baltimore with a 3-2 record, 1-1 away from their home field at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Stafford is a former first-round overall pick by the Lions in the 2009 NFL Draft out of Georgia. He played his first 12 NFL seasons before going to the Rams. Entering Sunday’s game, Stafford had 61,312 career passing yards. But he has now moved past that total against Baltimore.
Now, the Rams want to keep Stafford going this season as head coach Sean McVay knows how much the quarterback means to his offensive plans.
Fantasy Football Outlook for Stafford
Entering Sunday’s action, fantasy football players were looking to see whether Stafford would be a solid pickup for their teams. PFSN’s Kyle Soppe offered some wisdom for those fantasy players.
“Stafford has excelled at featuring his most trusted options for 1.5 decades at this point, and that’s what we saw last week (71.7% of his throws were directed at Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, or Kyren Williams),” Soppe wrote. “In the right matchups where those players can uncover with consistency, his floor is so high.
“That projects to be the case this week on long rest and facing a banged-up Ravens defense,” Soppe wrote. “I’ve got Stafford ranked as a low-end QB1 in this spot, the highest I’ve had him this season, but the lack of rushing production can’t be blindly overlooked.
“More so than those routinely ranking in this range, Stafford relies on his teammates,” Soppe wrote. “Without any production to chase on the ground, the ceiling/floor combination simply doesn’t math in the same way.” Look for Stafford to do his best to add to his passing yardage total against the Ravens’ defense.
