Stafford Vs The Chicago Bears

Stafford’s most career wins against a single teams have come against the Chicago Bears, dating back to his run in the NFC North. One of those 12 «dubs» came in his first regular season game as a member of the Rams.

Last year, Week 1 of Sunday Night Football featured Stafford completing 20 of his 26 passing attempts for 321 yards and three touchdowns as the Rams blew out the Bears 34-14 at SoFi Stadium. The script was flipped in Week 4 of the 2024 season, as Stafford threw a pick and Los Angeles fell 24-18 to Caleb Williams and Chicago.

Stafford Vs The Cincinnati Bengals

Rams Vs The Cincinnati Bengals

All four of Stafford’s career postseason victories came in the 2021 season, capped off by the Rams’ 23-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI. 

Stafford threw for 283 yards and three touchdowns in the win, finishing with the second-most passing yards in a single postseason at 1,188, behind just Eli Manning (1,219 in 2011).

Although Stafford didn’t come away with Super Bowl MVP honors, the 34-year-old came up with a big drive that resulted in a go-ahead touchdown pass to Cooper Kupp with 1:25 remaining in the fourth quarter.

One of the throws during the final drive included this absurd completion to Kupp. 

Stafford Vs The Cleveland Browns

The first signature win of Stafford’s career came in his rookie year, as the Detroit Lions faced the Cleveland Browns. Both teams came into the matchup with lowly 1-8 records, but the game ended up turning into a classic. 

Trailing 24-3 in the first quarter, Stafford engineered a comeback, which included throwing a game-winning touchdown to tight end Brandon Pettigrew on the game’s final play.

Stafford threw for 422 yards and five touchdowns in Detroit’s 38-37 win over Cleveland. Many years later, Stafford still remains undefeated against the Browns.

Stafford Vs The Dallas Cowboys

As​ a native​ оf Dallas, Texas, games against the Dallas Cowboys have always had extra meaning for Stafford. 

Rams vs The Dallas Cowboys

He’s played «America’s Team» seven times​ іn his career, including​ a postseason loss​ tо Dallas​ іn the 2014 Wild Card round. Detroit held​ a 20-7 lead​ іn the third quarter but ultimately blew​ іt against Tony Romo and the Cowboys​ as Stafford was unable​ tо secure the Lions’ first playoff win since 1991.

A year prior, however, Detroit prevailed in a Ford Field classic against Dallas. Down 30-24 with just over a minute remaining in the game, the connection between Stafford and star receiver Calvin Johnson helped spearhead a late comeback. 

This included one of Stafford’s most memorable plays in his NFL career. 

Stafford Vs The Green Bay Packers

If there’s one team that’s had Stafford’s number, it’s been the Green Bay Packers. Even when Stafford threw for 520 yards against the Packers in a Week 17 game back in 2011, Green Bay came out on top with backup QB Matt Flynn starting. 

The Packers have dominated the NFC North while Stafford’s Lions remained either poor​ оr heavily mediocre. One​ оf the​ 15 games that Stafford ended​ up losing included​ a miraculous Hail Mary​ by Aaron Rodgers​ tо Richard Rodgers that lifted the Packers over Detroit back​ іn 2015.

Stafford’s fortunes haven’t changed much as a member of the Rams, as he’s lost repeatedly to the Pack since taking his talents to LA. His latest defeat came in Week 5 of the 2024 season when the Rams lost 24-19 at home.
