The stage was set for Matthew Stafford to deliver one of his patented game-winning drives with the Los Angeles Rams down 20-16 to the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI. There were 6 minutes and 13 seconds remaining in the game when the Rams took possession of the ball. Impressively, Stafford led Los Angeles’ offense on a 15-play drive that took nearly five minutes off of the clock, ending with a touchdown pass to Cooper Kupp. By pay count, it was the longest go-ahead drive in the second half of any Super Bowl.
With Stafford finally earning the elusive Super Bowl win, there has been chatter among fans and the media alike on whether or not he deserves to be enshrined in Canton. So with everyone — at least football fans — discussing it amongst themselves, is Stafford worthy of being a Hall of Famer at this point in his career?
It has become a controversial topic as Richard Sherman added his two cents to the discussion, concluding that Stafford isn’t a Hall of Famer in his eyes. On the other hand, we have a Hall of Fame quarterback in Steve Young unequivocally labeling Stafford a Hall of Famer.
