Stafford Throws Five TDs in Rams' London Win

Matthew Stafford threw five touchdown passes in the London International Series, leading the Los Angeles Rams to a 35-7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars — his first five-TD game with the Rams and the first player to throw five or more TDs in an International Series game. Stafford completed 21 of 33 passes for 182 yards and spread the ball to multiple receivers, with Davante Adams catching three touchdown passes; he achieved the performance without injured receiver Puka Nacua. The Rams’ defense dominated, recording seven sacks after Jared Verse set the tone with a first-play takedown of Trevor Lawrence, while Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter scored his first NFL touchdown late in the game. The outing underscores Stafford’s late-career resurgence since his trade to Los Angeles and his role in the Rams’ Super Bowl LVI run. Separately, Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor entered Week 8 leading the league with 697 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns, positioning him as an Offensive Player of the Year candidate amid historical context on past winners.
