Former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Matthew Stafford has been up-and-down this year, losing both his top two receivers and his tight end to injury. As a result, the Los Angeles Rams started the season 0-2 and were going against a San Francisco 49ers team that represented the NFC in the last Super Bowl.
However, despite facing a 24-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, Stafford led the Rams on an amazing 27-24 comeback victory over the 49ers. With under five minutes remaining, the 49ers had a 95.5% chance to win according to ESPN.
Stafford finished the day with 221 passing yards on 25 attempts, along with a touchdown. He finished with a 105.6 passer rating and he could’ve had even more touchdowns if the Rams didn’t run the ball on the one yard line to score. His touchdown pass was to Kyren Williams, who also scored two rushing touchdowns on the day.
This season, Stafford has 754 passing yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. He currently ranks third in the league in passing yards.
Stafford helped the Rams to win against the 49ers for just the second time in 10 regular season games. It’s a win both Rams fans and Bulldogs fans can be proud of. The Rams’ win over San Francisco may have saved Los Angeles’ season.
