Sean McVay Hails Matthew Stafford as 'Such a F--king Stud!' After Rams' Win vs. 49ers

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay spoke for many fans when he called quarterback Matthew Stafford "such a f--king stud" after Sunday's 27-24 comeback victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

The MMQB's Albert Breer relayed the comment from McVay, who awarded Stafford a game ball in the locker room.

Stafford threw for 221 yards and one touchdown, which are numbers that don't exactly jump off the page. But the two-time Pro Bowler was without his two best wide receivers (Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua) and lined up behind an offensive line that missed three starters (Jonah Jackson, Steve Avila and Joe Noteboom).

Los Angeles was the clear underdog entering Week 3 and San Francisco appeared to be cruising to an easy win when it jumped ahead 14-0 in the first quarter. Instead, the Rams clawed their way back despite having so many key players injured.

Stafford was instrumental in setting up the game-tying score late in the fourth quarter. His 50-yard pass to Tutu Atwell put the offense in a 1st-and-goal situation.

Then the veteran signal-caller was savvy enough to test 49ers linebacker De'Vondre Campbell on a throw that resulted in a pass interference and moved the ball 25 yards down the field. That eventually gave Joshua Karty a chip shot for a game-winning field goal.

Stafford is now tied with Drew Brees for the fifth-most fourth-quarter comebacks (36) all time. He seemingly thrives in adversity and regularly rises to the occasion in critical moments.

Thanks in large part to the 36-year-old, Rams fans have renewed belief this can be a playoff team even with all of the injuries.
