Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Stafford’s extension was a foregone conclusion, and the Rams’ willingness to commit to him for another year shows their confidence in his abilities. He’ll continue to play behind center for the team, with the potential for a strong finish to his career.
Stafford’s desire to play past this upcoming campaign is clear, and with the Rams’ Super Bowl LXI at their home stadium, SoFi Stadium, he’ll have a chance to add to his legacy.
This extension is just the latest chapter in Stafford’s storied career, which has seen him play for the Detroit Lions and now the Los Angeles Rams.
Stafford’s mindset was clear for the 2026 season, telling everyone at the NFL Honors, “I’ll see you guys next year.”
This one felt recognizable early, and the result wasn’t surprising by the end.
