Matthew Stafford is climbing up the NFL history books.
The Rams quarterback threw his 382nd career touchdown pass in Los Angeles' 33-26 loss to the Eagles on Sunday, moving into ninth on the all-time passing TDs list.
Stafford entered his 225th regular-season game needing two TDs to surpass Matt Ryan (381). He pulled even with Ryan thanks to a first-quarter strike to Davante Adams, then moved past him by connecting with Kyren Williams for No. 382 on a 10-yard score two frames later.
Stafford, 37, is one of two active players (Aaron Rodgers is now No. 4) in the top 10 on the all-time TD passes leaderboard. Next in his sights is still a ways off, as Ben Roethlisberger sits at No. 8 with 418.
He would need to match his career high of 41 TD passes in a season to pull even with Roethlisberger during the 2025 campaign, though if Stafford eventually reaches that mark, Dan Marino (420) and Philip Rivers (421) will also be in immediate striking distance.
Stafford was selected No. 1 overall by the Detroit Lions in the 2009 NFL Draft. In his 12 seasons with Detroit, he threw for 45,109 yards, 282 TDs and 144 interceptions. Stafford was acquired by the Rams in 2021 via trade with Detroit and capped off his first season in L.A. by winning Super Bowl LVI.
Having put together a Hall of Fame career wearing No. 9 through 17 NFL seasons, he's fittingly moved into ninth place on the all-time passing TDs list.
