The Los Angeles Rams are dominating the Jacksonville Jaguars so far in London.
With the first half wrapped up, Los Angeles is leading Jacksonville 21-0 on the backs of quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Davante Adams. Stafford has completed 15 of his 20 passes for 127 passing yards and three passing touchdowns. Adams, meanwhile, has caught four passes for 34 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Before either of Adams’ touchdown catches, wide receiver Konata Mumpfield helped Stafford make franchise history with a five-yard TD catch of his own.
Matthew Stafford Reaches Top-Five in Rams’ All-Time Passing Touchdowns
The Rams announced after Stafford’s touchdown pass to Mumpfield that he has reached No. 5 in the Rams’ all-time passing touchdowns list. He trails Norm Van Brocklin (118), Marc Bulger (122), Jim Everett (142), and Roman Gabriel (154). He surpassed now-Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff against the Jaguars.
The swap involving Stafford and Goff is widely regarded as one of the most even in NFL history. This is because the former was under center when the Rams won a Super Bowl and continues to shine, while the latter is having the best seasons of his career, as Detroit is consistently in conversations involving Super Bowl contenders.
This season, Los Angeles has yet another shot at hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Stafford is playing as good as ever, the wide receiver duo of Puka Nacua and Adams looks like the best in the league, and the defense is currently pitching a shutout against a decent offense. The Jaguars’ offense has a 73.2 impact score from PFSN, which ranks the unit No. 20.
Stafford is one of the most accomplished quarterbacks in Rams history, bringing the franchise their second Super Bowl in 2022. Given that the 37-year-old is showing no signs of slowing down, Los Angeles fans had quite exciting reactions to this major news.

One fan used this post as an opportunity to express their frustration about the flagged punt return that was called back in the first half, writing, “Tell me this game isn’t rigged !!! Block behind the back? Where? Jags first possession on 3rd no late hit but the Rams got a PF foul!??? If you guys want to rig games at least make it less obvious!!! Boring to watch this mess!!”
