Matthew Stafford nears NFL career loss record

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is approaching a significant NFL milestone as his team prepares to face the Las Vegas Raiders. A loss in the upcoming game would mark Stafford’s 123rd career defeat, tying him with Vinny Testaverde for the most losses by a quarterback in league history.

Despite his longevity and recent accolades, including a 2025 MVP award, Stafford has faced challenges this season. The Rams currently hold a 2-4 record, a disappointing start for a team that entered the campaign as Super Bowl favorites. Analysts have noted that Stafford has struggled under pressure, with his completion percentage dropping from 67.4% in clean pockets to 61.8% when facing the blitz.

Stafford, 38, has been in the NFL since 2009. While he experienced playoff struggles during his 12 seasons with the Detroit Lions, he achieved major success after joining the Rams, including a victory in Super Bowl LVI.
