From the article

The Los Angeles Rams dominated when pushing the ball down the field in their Week 2 win. Specifically, Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams dominated the New York Giants when pushing the ball... Stafford is obviously one of the league's best at pushing the ball and using all portions of the field, while Adams's technical ability as a route runner is especially deadly in the intermediate and deep levels of the defense.

STACKED’s take

NeutralMatchup

Stafford excelled downfield vs. Giants; may need conservative approach vs. Surtain.

Stafford and the Rams dominated pushing the ball downfield in Week 2 against the Giants, with Stafford targeting Davante Adams 8 times on downfield throws (10+ air yards). Against Denver's Patrick Surtain II in Week 3, the source notes that Stafford is one of the league's best at pushing the ball and using all portions of the field, but downfield opportunities will be more limited. The Rams may need to employ a more underneath, conservative approach against Surtain, though the source suggests they should still look for opportunities to attack Denver's secondary when Surtain is occupied or target the No. 2 cornerback Riley Moss.
