"Matthew Stafford remains among the frontrunners for the NFL most valuable player award, though his status took a hit after a three-interception performance in a defeat by the Atlanta Falcons. On Sunday, the Rams' veteran quarterback gets a final shot at making his case when he plays against the Arizona Cardinals at SoFi Stadium. 'Listen, I'm not too worried about it,' Stafford said when asked whether MVP talk enters his mind."
"Stafford, 37, has enjoyed one of the best seasons of his 17-year career. He has passed for a career-best and league-leading 42 touchdowns, with eight interceptions, while leading the Rams to an 11-5 record and third-place finish in the NFC West, the NFL's toughest division this season. His main competition seemingly is New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye. The second-year pro has passed for 30 touchdowns, with eight interceptions, while leading the Patriots to a 13-3 record and the AFC East title."
Matthew Stafford is prioritizing helping the Rams win and supporting teammates rather than focusing on the MVP race. He threw three interceptions in a loss to the Atlanta Falcons and seeks a bounce-back performance against the Arizona Cardinals at SoFi Stadium. Stafford leads the NFL with a career-best 42 touchdown passes and has eight interceptions while guiding the Rams to an 11-5 record and third place in the NFC West. Drake Maye is the main MVP competitor with 30 touchdowns and eight interceptions, and the MVP is chosen by a 50-journalist AP panel.
