Stafford's MVP season couldn't overcome Rams' third-down conversion struggles in 2026.

The 2025 Rams offense, while carried by MVP Matthew Stafford, attempted to limit third-down frequency by winning on first and second downs; however, the team's overall third-down conversion rate dropped to 37.1%, and in the 2026 season opener they ranked 26th in the league at 22.22%, indicating offensive inconsistency despite Stafford's MVP-caliber play.
