Rams QB Matthew Stafford's hope for rematch vs. Panthers: 'I'd like to not throw it to their team'

Our Summary

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is set to face the Carolina Panthers again as Wild Card Weekend opens. In their previous matchup, Stafford threw multiple interceptions, including one that was returned for a touchdown, contributing to a 31-28 Rams loss. Despite leading the NFL with 4,707 passing yards and 46 touchdowns this season, Stafford's turnovers in key games, such as the Week 13 loss to the Panthers, have been costly. As the Rams prepare for the rematch, Stafford aims to avoid turnovers and capitalize on the Panthers' defense, known for its opportunistic playmaking. The game is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. ET on Saturday.
