Matthew Stafford just dropped 390 yards, two touchdowns, and two picks last Sunday, but the Rams still fell to the Broncos 30-26, pushing their record to a rough 1-2. That loss stings, no doubt, but Stafford’s stat line from that game means he’s now staring down a piece of NFL history nobody else has ever touched.

Double-Team Dynasty? Stafford’s Wild TD Journey

Stafford has 147 touchdown passes with the Rams over six seasons. Before that, he spent 12 years slinging it for the Lions, racking up 282 touchdown passes there. Think about that for a second: a guy who put up huge numbers for one team, gets traded, and now he’s on the verge of doing it all over again for another franchise. It’s wild. If he throws just three more touchdowns, he’d be the first player *ever* in NFL history to hit 150+ touchdown passes for two different teams. That’s a legacy-defining stat.

Next Up: Philly and the Record Watch

So, when can this dude make history? His next shot is this Sunday on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles. Kickoff is 1 p.m. ET on FOX. He needs those three scores, no less. If it doesn’t happen then, his next opportunity is October 12 against the Buffalo Bills on “Monday Night Football.” You know he’s gonna be pushing for it against the Eagles.

The Rams need a win to get back on track after starting 1-2, but all eyes are gonna be on Stafford this Sunday as he tries to carve his name even deeper into the record books. Can he get those three touchdowns and make history against the Eagles? We’re about to find out.
