Stafford's 155-yard, 1-INT dud vs. SF raises concerns despite travel/rest excuses.

Matthew Stafford, the reigning NFL MVP, completed just 15 passes for 155 yards with an interception against San Francisco, making several uncharacteristic mistakes. Most concerning were his errant throws to wide-open receivers, especially Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. The Rams came into the season as odds-on Super Bowl favorites but Stafford clearly missed that memo. Attribution chalks this one up to short rest and a long trip to Australia, hoping he returns to form next week.
