In the United States, during a game on November 30, 2025, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford achieved a significant milestone by breaking an NFL record during Week 13 of the season. The record, which had been held by Tom Brady, was for the most consecutive touchdown passes thrown without an interception. Stafford entered the game tied with Brady, having thrown 27 consecutive touchdown passes without an interception since his last pick in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Stafford wasted no time in surpassing the record, scoring a touchdown on his first drive against the Carolina Panthers. He connected with wide receiver Davante Adams for a four-yard touchdown pass, marking his 28th consecutive touchdown pass without interception. This record-breaking throw further solidified Stafford’s status as a premier quarterback this season. Despite this accomplishment, the game took a downturn for Stafford as the second quarter unfolded. He threw two interceptions after setting the record, one of which was returned by the Panthers' defense for a touchdown. These interceptions somewhat overshadowed the podium achievement of breaking Brady's record and prompted discussions regarding Stafford's performance under pressure. Heading into this game, Stafford was not just chasing records; he was positioning himself as a strong candidate for the NFL MVP award. He was leading the league with 30 touchdown passes and only two interceptions at that point in the season. The Rams, carrying a 9-2 record, sought to secure their 10th victory of the season, which would be crucial for their aim to gain a first-round bye in the postseason. The implications of his performance, therefore, extend beyond individual records and significantly influence the team's postseason ambitions.
