Matthew Stafford got a call this week from a childhood friend who knows a little something about waiting a long time to win his first championship.
Stafford has passed for 905 yards in the Rams' first three playoff games. If he gets 315 yards in the Super Bowl, he will pass Eli Manning's single-season playoff record from 2011.Kupp has turned into the most productive receiver in football while catching throws from Stafford — just as Calvin Johnson did when he was teamed with Stafford in Detroit.
Stafford has maintained a steady focus and sturdy leadership throughout the Rams' season, including a winless November in which Stafford threw a spate of interceptions that derailed his MVP candidacy. The quarterback has taken advantage of an opportunity that looked like it might never arrive. Before he joined the Rams, the biggest single stage of his football career was arguably Georgia’s victory over Hawaii in the 2008 Sugar Bowl to complete an 11-2 season.
Stafford was humbled this week when he was reminded that his last chance to play for a championship was back at Highland Park in 2005. “Man, I was young,” Stafford said with a smile. “Didn't know a whole lot. But we ran the rock great that day. Didn't throw a touchdown pass. We won 59-0. So we ran it good, but I don't spend too much time thinking about that. I think is going to be a little bit different stage, but at the same time, just go out there and have fun and enjoy the moment. I'm going to enjoy Sunday in a couple of weeks.
