Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp in the division round matchup

It seems like whenever the pressure is on, the Rams know who to turn to. The end of the regular season was raising some questions about Matthew Stafford. The quarterback had thrown 13 interceptions in the last nine games for the Rams. 

Stafford quickly cleared his name. The playoffs are where he would shine the brightest. In the home game against Arizona in the wild card round, the quarterback played well. He threw just over 200 yards, but all of his plays were turnover-free. And the Rams won with a dominating score of 34-11.

In the dying moments of the fourth quarter, both sides were in a 27-27 tie. With only 26 seconds to go, Matthew found Cooper with another deep drive. It put the Rams in a field goal territory, and Matt Gay won it all for Los Angeles.
