“You see Matthew Stafford. This is the first year, I think, we’re starting to see his age.” —@willcolon66 on the Rams’ Via @gmfb on X

What happened: Willie Colon pointed to Matthew Stafford's play as evidence age is catching up to the Rams quarterback. The comment links Stafford's form to Los Angeles's uneven opening weeks in 2026.

Why it matters: Stafford remains the center of the Rams offense, so any dip shapes their NFC West path. An early hole tightens the margin for home playoff positioning.

What to watch: Watch Stafford's efficiency and ball security over the next two games for direction of the Rams season.
