Matthew Stafford just added another line to a career that already reads like two different stars in one.
The former Georgia quarterback spent his first NFL chapter with the Detroit Lions from 2009 to 2020, and he left that run with the most passing touchdowns in franchise history. Stafford threw 282 touchdown passes in Detroit and made the Pro Bowl once, in 2014, while carrying those Lions teams through a long stretch that didn’t produce many big results.
Then came the trade to the Los Angeles Rams in March of 2021, and Stafford didn’t slow down one bit. He kept right on doing what he has always done best: play quarterback at a high level.
In his first season in Los Angeles, he helped the Rams win the Super Bowl. He later added Pro Bowl nods in 2023 and 2025, and in that 2025 season he was also named NFL MVP.
At 38, he’s still stacking accomplishments instead of fading from the spotlight.
That latest milestone arrived Sunday afternoon in a Week 7 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders. Stafford became the only quarterback in NFL history to lead multiple franchises in passing touchdowns, and he also set the Rams’ franchise passing touchdown record with his 155th scoring throw.
By the end of the third quarter, Los Angeles was in control, leading 28-6, and Stafford was dealing: 20 of 24 for 160 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. He was doing what the Rams brought him in to do while also reaching a rare piece of NFL history.
And beyond the record book, Stafford is still trying to push Los Angeles back into the NFC West race.

Georgia Fans Have A New Reason To Watch The Arch Manning Rumor
Arch Manning is back in the rumor mill, and this one has a Georgia twist that will get plenty of attention in Athens. The Texas quarterback has dealt with accuracy issues and turnovers during his college career, but a new report from On3 analyst David Pollack says an SEC head coach believes Manning could end up transferring to Georgia for the 2027 season. It is the kind of speculation that immediately catches the eye of Bulldogs fans, especially with his name already carrying so much weight in the sport.
Manning has long been connected to Georgia, since he previously considered the Bulldogs before choosing Texas. For now, though, the idea remains just that, a rumor without confirmation, and there is still a long way to go before anything becomes real. Even so, the fact that Georgia is once again being mentioned in the Manning conversation is enough to keep this storyline on the radar as the quarterback situation develops over the next couple of seasons.

Georgias 2027 QB Picture Just Got A Lot More Interesting
Georgias quarterback board for 2027 picked up a notable name this week when Bo Bryan, the son of country music star Luke Bryan, announced his commitment to the Bulldogs. The 3-star prospect from Battle Ground Academy in Franklin, Tennessee, had multiple offers to sort through, but Georgia emerged as the fit that made the most sense, especially with the way offensive coordinator Mike Bobo likes to shape his offense.
Bryan has put together a strong season at Battle Ground Academy, throwing for 2,100 yards and 30 touchdowns in seven games. For Georgia, the pledge adds another layer to the long-term quarterback conversation and gives the staff an early foothold with a player who already looks comfortable operating in a system that values timing, rhythm and accuracy.

Nick Saban Just Put Georgias Biggest Florida Concern In Focus
Georgias loss to Auburn came down to a familiar kind of problem, one that can undo even the most talented roster in a hurry. The Bulldogs committed three turnovers while Auburn played cleanly, and Gunner Stocktons two interceptions and late fumble were central to how the game slipped away. The result left Georgia with a reminder that even when the overall performance looks good enough, mistakes can still decide the night.
Nick Sabans recent comments only sharpened the point: championship teams protect the football, and Georgia has to do the same if it wants to stay on that track. Auburn may have caught a break or two along the way, but the bigger takeaway for Georgia is less about one bad result than the margin for error it keeps giving opponents. If the Bulldogs clean that up, they still look like a team built to handle the stretch ahead. [Read more 🡒]
