Rams’ Matthew Stafford takes aim at a fifth game without an interception
LA TimesRams quarterback Matthew Stafford has not had a pass intercepted in four games. “Just trying to keep our team in it as best I can, be as disciplined as I can while still being aggressive and giving our guys opportunities to make plays,” Stafford said Tuesday of his recent efficiency, “because they’re doing a great job of that for me right now.” Stafford has passed for 19 touchdowns, with seven interceptions, for a Rams team that is over.500 for the first time but has yet to win three games in a row. Last season, during the Rams’ last-season push to the playoffs, Stafford went four games without an interception. And he’s not.” Before this season, Stafford’s fourth with the Rams, his only victory over the 49ers with coach Sean McVay came in the 2022 NFC championship game. “No matter what’s really happened in terms of the trajectory of the injuries, they’re going to be ready to go,” McVay said, “and we’re going to do our best to get our guys ready to roll and it’s going to be a great challenge and opportunity.” Former Rams edge rusher Leonard Floyd has a team-best 8 ½ sacks for a 49ers defense that has intercepted 11 passes and could welcome the return of linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who suffered a knee injury during last season’s Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
