One of the Rams’ shrewdest moves of the 2021 offseason was going out to acquire Stafford from the Lions for Jared Goff, who had previously been at the helm for their last Super Bowl run. Stafford’s chances to get to the Super Bowl were running out but he made the most of it.
Under Stafford’s leadership, the Rams won the NFC West division with a 12-5 record.
