Rams teammates know Matthew Stafford will be the

Whatever the circumstance — cold, snow, rain, wind, noise — Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is cool, calm and collected.

But the Seventeenth-year professional just isn’t quiet.

Especially in the huddle. Especially at decibel-delirious Lumen Field in Seattle.

“He’s screaming,” tight end Davis Allen said Wednesday, chuckling. “He’s not talking normal, that’s for sure… He does a great job making sure guys are where they need to be.”

Since becoming a member of the Rams in 2021, Stafford is 3-1 at Lumen Field, where the Rams will play the Seahawks on Sunday in the NFC championship sport.

Asked how he thought he had performed in Seattle, Stafford immediately ticked through all of the Rams’ performances.

A Thursday night time victory in 2021. Sitting out 2022 because of injury. A walk-off landing move to win in time beyond regulation in 2024, and an time beyond regulation loss this season in Week 16.

“It’s always a great environment,” Stafford said.

Stafford, 37, goals to continue what has been an MVP-level season with a victory that would give him a shot at a second Super Bowl title.

Two weeks in the past, Stafford engineered a game-winning landing drive in a wild-card victory over the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, N.C.. Last Sunday, he led a game-winning field-goal drive in time beyond regulation to beat the Chicago Bears in Chicago.

Stafford, who suffered a sprained proper index finger against the Panthers, was not at his best for most of the sport against the Bears.

On a cold, snowy and windy night time at Soldier Field, Stafford accomplished only 20 of 42 passes for 258 yards, with no touchdowns.

His 47.6% completion share was the lowest of his 12-game playoff profession, and the lowest since a 48.3% efficiency in a 2023 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers at SoFi Stadium.

But Stafford is predicted to bounce back against the Seahawks.

In 4 video games at Lumen Field, he has handed for 1,454 yards and six touchdowns, with two interceptions.

On Dec. 18, he accomplished 29 of 49 passes for 457 yards and three touchdowns in a 38-37 time beyond regulation defeat.

The Rams had the ball in the fourth quarter but failed to transfer into field-goal vary.

In time beyond regulation, Stafford linked with receiver Puka Nacua for a 41-yard landing move. Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold answered with a landing move, and then transformed a two-point conversion move for the victory.

“Didn’t play up to our standard in some areas, and had chances to finish that game,” Stafford said. “But didn’t.”

The Rams and Stafford closed the deal in their divisional-round victory over the Bears.

As he did in the 2021 playoffs — when he engineered a 42-second, game-winning drive against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Stafford got here up big in the divisional spherical when the Rams needed him most.

The Rams had the ball late in the fourth quarter but have been pressured to punt — and Bears quarterback Caleb Williams despatched the sport into time beyond regulation with a spectacular landing move.

In time beyond regulation, after Rams security Kam Curl intercepted a move, Stafford accomplished passes to tight end Colby Parkinson and receivers Davante Adams and Nacua during a drive that ended with a 42-yard, game-winning subject aim by Harrison Mevis, placing the Rams in the NFC championship sport for the third time under coach Sean McVay.

The top-seeded Seahawks are coming off a 41-6 rout of the San Francisco 49ers, a dominating efficiency that started with a kickoff return for a landing and didn’t let up in any part.

McVay is assured that Stafford will once again deal with the atmosphere at Lumen Field.

“Just that command, that confidence, that poise, that ability to love those pressure-filled moments,” McVay said, “I think that gives a calm in the midst of some of those chaotic moments, and I think that resonates with his teammates, and it creates a belief that’s not exclusive to the offense.

“That’s our whole football team, coaching staff included.”

Center Coleman Shelton said because of the noise at Lumen Field, gamers decrease their heads in the huddle to hear Stafford.

“You can hear the play-call the lower you go,” he said.

The performs are being delivered by a quarterback who “always rises to the occasion,” Shelton said.

“The harder the environment,” he said, “it almost seems like the more he thrives.”
