With 42 seconds remaining in the game, Matthew Stafford trotted onto the field after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rallied back from 24 points down in the divisional round. Stafford could have been frantic or frenzied with the pressure mounting on him to avoid a second-half collapse that the Los Angeles Rams caused themselves by coughing up the ball four times.
But with his legacy and the Rams’ hopes of making the Super Bowl on the line, Stafford delivered two clutch passes to Cooper Kupp, with the second one being an impressive 44-yard completion that set Matt Gay up for the game-winning field goal.
Following Sunday’s close victory, Stafford went on to say that it was fun to “steal somebody’s soul” in regards to ending Tampa Bay’s season with a crucial play in the waning moments. When asked about Stafford’s eery comments, Sean McVay shared that he loves the competitive fire that Stafford brings on and off of the field.
