Matthew Stafford is on the verge of another milestone in what has already been a decorated NFL career. The Los Angeles Rams quarterback enters Week 10 with 398 career touchdown passes, putting him just two shy of the 400 mark \u2014 a benchmark reached by only eight quarterbacks in the Super Bowl era.<\/p>\n
Stafford currently ranks ninth all-time in touchdown passes, trailing a Hall of Fame-heavy leaderboard led by Tom Brady (649), Drew Brees (571), and Peyton Manning (539). With his next two scoring throws, he\u2019ll join an exclusive group that includes legends such as Dan Marino, Brett Favre, and Aaron Rodgers.<\/p>\n
This season, Stafford has been in top form. He leads the NFL with 21 touchdown passes, piloting a Rams offense that has regained its rhythm. In his most recent outing, Stafford threw four touchdowns in a commanding 34\u201310 win over the New Orleans Saints, extending Los Angeles\u2019 winning streak to three games.<\/p>\n
The 6\u20132 Rams sit atop the NFC West standings heading into Sunday\u2019s divisional showdown against the San Francisco 49ers, who currently hold third place. With the playoffs in sight and momentum building, Stafford has the chance to hit the 400-touchdown milestone on one of the league\u2019s biggest stages \u2014 against a familiar rival.<\/p>\n
