Suddenly, Brian Daboll Of New York Giants Insisted.
“Hall of Fame Level” play by Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, according to Giants coach Wink Martindale
Prior to their Sunday game, Matthew Stafford, the quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams, received some love from New York Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale.
Thanks mostly to quarterback Matthew Stafford’s brilliance, the Los Angeles Rams have entirely turned around their season, going from 3-6 to 8-7 and holding a playoff berth.
The 35-year-old Stafford has been playing some of his finest football of the season lately. He has thrown for 1,388 yards and 14 touchdowns with just one interception in the last five games, helping the Rams get back into the postseason picture.
When Stafford and the Rams go to play the New York Giants on New Year’s Eve, they’ll be hoping to keep things hot and possibly secure a postseason berth. Before the game, Stafford received some praise from Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale, who stated that the quarterback is performing at a “Hall of Fame level” and that he should be competing for MVP along with Lamar Jackson, the current MVP favorite and signal-caller for the Baltimore Ravens.
At +150000, Stafford is currently way out of the MVP race, per FanDuel Sportsbook. But he most likely would have been in the debate if he had performed as well earlier in the season and the Rams had earned up a few more victories along the way.
Nevertheless, Stafford has drawn attention lately. His comeback this year has been really remarkable, especially considering that he just had what may have been the worst season of his career—one that was marred by injuries.
Martindale is more than willing to give Stafford the credit he deserves for the work he has been doing over the previous several weeks, even if the hardware isn’t there.
