Matthew Stafford Weighs in on Los Angeles Rams’ Defeat
After the Los Angeles Rams match against the Dolphins, QB Matthew Stafford talked about the team’s mistakes. Stafford, who threw 32 passes for 293 yards, one interception, and no touchdowns, was frustrated with the unacceptable plays at important moments.
He said, “It’s just negative plays at the wrong time, right? Whether it’s a turnover, a sack, an inefficient play on first down, whatever it was, we just shot ourselves in the foot, in that strike-zone area, that 30-yard-line-ish area.”
On the first play, Stafford said that losing 10 yards was “not what you want,” and the mistakes kept adding up. Like McVay, he thought the attack was “inconsistent” and had trouble with mistakes at the worst times.
