Update:

The Los Angeles Rams have spent the regular season looking like contenders again, and Matthew Stafford has been at the center of it. The veteran quarterback, playing with the sharpness of someone far younger, added another milestone to his resurgent year in the opening quarter against Carolina.

What Brady record has Stafford beaten?

His first scoring throw of the day on Sunday pushed him past Tom Brady’s long-standing single-season record for touchdown passes without an interception. Brady set the mark at 27 during his dominant 2010–11 campaign. Stafford’s strike against the Panthers made it 28, a clean run that underscored why he has been mentioned in MVP conversations.

But the celebration didn’t last. Two interceptions followed, including a costly pick-six, a reminder of how thin the margins can be.
