King of comebacks, Matthew Stafford, needs to get Rams rolling again against Colts

The Rams’ Matthew Stafford looks over the Colts defense before a snap in 2021. “One of our coaches came up to me after that and was like, ‘All right, if we recover the onside, we got about 15, 20 yards to get into field-goal range,’ ” Stafford said. Let’s get the hell out of here.’ “So, didn’t happen but that’s the mindset that we have and I’m happy to be a part of that.” Veterans such as tight end Tyler Higbee and offensive tackle Rob Havenstein have experienced Stafford in comeback situations during his two-plus seasons with the Rams. “Same old calm, cool, collected — like it’s the first drive, first and 10 at the beginning of the game,” Higbee said of Stafford’s demeanor when comebacks are required. “He’s as steady as they come without being monotone, if that makes sense.” Last Monday against the Bengals, rookie receiver Puka Nacua got his first taste of Stafford in a comeback situation.
