Rams' Matthew Stafford Hyped as NFL MVP by Davante Adams amid Historic Performance

Matthew Stafford is one of the top-performing players in the NFL, throwing for 20 touchdowns and zero interceptions in his last six games.

Not surprisingly, the Rams are 5-1 in those contests, and the MVP talk is beginning in earnest regarding the veteran quarterback.

"It's looked like MVP play to me all year, to be honest," wideout Davante Adams told reporters after Stafford threw for 280 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 42-26 win over the San Francisco 49ers. "I mean, even certain games... the pick he threw against Tennessee and the way he bounced back after that; that's how an MVP plays, to me. Just to rally a team and continue to lead at a high level after things don't go your way, I think that's what really shows what an MVP is about."

Adams isn't alone in that assessment. Stafford's MVP case was a popular talking point after Sunday's win:

"I feel like when you're on a heater, you don't touch whatever he is doing," Puka Nacua told reporters. "I'm like, you can do whatever. You can walk on water right now. So, I'm like, I just try to stay out of his way as best as I can and when he communicates, I listen."
