L.A. Rams News: Will Rivers hold up Stafford from some records?

Before Philip Rivers unretired, he had been in the league for a long time (look it up if you doubt me), and as Matthew Stafford has continued his career, he’s given himself chances to pass quarterbacks in the record books including Rivers. So give it up to the headline/article below because I hadn’t thought about this angle at all (though I love that Rivers is taking on some NFC West teams), but Rivers come back to play could prevent Stafford from passing some records this year and maybe in general (who knows what the future holds?)

Matthew Stafford might not move up the NFL record books again in 2025 (ramswire)

“Before Week 15, he had a good shot to eclipse a few other veterans, including Philip Rivers. Stafford is 277 passing yards from passing Rivers for seventh place all-time and needs just nine touchdowns to move past Rivers for sixth all-time (Stafford needs six touchdowns to pass Ben Roethlisberger and eight to pass Dan Marino before, though).

But with the news that Philip Rivers rejoined the Indianapolis Colts this week and could start as soon as Week 15, Stafford might need even more production numbers to add to his legacy. It’s unclear if Rivers will play past the 2025 season, but he appears poised to play at least through the regular season and likely into the postseason if the Colts make it.“

My hope is you have a great Friday; we made it to Friday (TGIF) and please comment on whatever you want and thank you for checking out Turf Show Times!

Rumble of Rams running backs is getting louder at the perfect time of year (ramblinfan)

“Don’t look now, Rams fans, but this offense can run the football.

The Detroit Lions have a fairly solid run defense, currently at tenth in the NFL. But LA has faced six of the NFL’s best 10 run defenses, and has won every game. Better still, the offense boasts two of the three running backs who have rushed for at least 70 yards and 1 touchdown in each of the last two games. The Lions have to face an offense that has dominated in the running game.“
