- Matthew Stafford sits at 122 career losses, one behind Vinny Testaverde, and a Rams loss on Sunday would tie the all-time NFL record for most losses by a quarterback.
- The Los Angeles Rams are 2-4 through six weeks after entering the season as preseason Super Bowl favorites, with the source flagging a real possibility of a playoff miss.
- Stafford's career splits to 74-90-1 with Detroit (2009-2020) and 48-32 since joining the Rams in 2021, where he won Super Bowl LVI in his first LA season and earned his first career MVP in 2025.
- Of the 15 QBs in NFL history with both a Super Bowl win and an MVP, 13 of the previous 14 are already in or headed to the Hall of Fame — the only exception is Joe Theismann, whose career ended with a gruesome 1985 leg injury.
- Baker Mayfield (career 58-65, age 31) has the best shot at eventually topping Stafford's mark, while Aaron Rodgers (95 losses, retiring after this season) and Joe Flacco (94, currently a backup) won't catch him.
Why it matters: The looming record is really a longevity marker — the source notes only QBs who win enough to stay employed long enough can accumulate 120+ losses. Stafford's 2025 MVP and Super Bowl LVI ring put him in rare company, with 13 of the previous 14 QBs to pull off that title-MVP double already in or headed to Canton.
