Matthew Stafford is unsure about his NFL future after the Rams were eliminated from the playoffs
Matthew Stafford, who turns 37 next month, said after the 28-22 loss to the Eagles that he's “going to take some time to think about it” regarding his career.
“I feel like I was playing pretty good ball,” he said via. New York Post.
Stafford's fourth year with the Rams ended with a playoff performance that saw a potential game-winning drive end with a fourth-and-long incompletion to his favorite target, second-year receiver Puka Nacua, on a ball dropped to the boundary.

Stafford passed 26 of 44 passes for 324 yards with two touchdown passes in snowy conditions at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, and was sacked five times by the Eagles' defense, including a crucial third-and-2 clearance of Jalen Carter in the red zone before the final incompletion.
But as Stafford mentioned, he can still throw the pigskin for 3,762 yards with 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions on a 65.8% completion rate through 16 games this season. He went 10-6 in those contests to give the Rams an NFC West title and another playoff berth with him at the helm.
Stafford was the first overall pick of the 2009 NFL Draft before Detroit LionsDespite his desperate desire to win a Super Bowl for the Motor City team, he found the Vince Lombardi Trophy in his first season with the Rams in 2021.
He was famously traded to the Rams from the Lions, who acquired Jared Goff in January 2021, turning both franchises around. While the Lions got a new quarterback they could build around, the Rams used veteran Stafford and their own weapons to make a Super Bowl run that ended with them hoisting the trophy at their SoFi Stadium over the Cincinnati Bengals.
