“Felt like we had a good plan, and then guys were making plays for me, so it was awesome. Just try to go out there and be aggressive, this time of year, it doesn’t really, reward you to be to be timid. Gotta go out there and make plays. Gotta go win games in the playoffs. Can’t just hope that things fall your way. So, I thought on offense, defense, special teams, we played that way.” – Stafford

Stafford completed his first 10 pass attempts, helping Los Angeles to two-straight scoring drives to start the game, and that was a product of their approach: “We want to go be aggressive,” Stafford said. He added that it was “huge” for him to have Week 18 off to get healthier, as he wasn’t playing at his best late in the season. He turned it around on Monday, though, helping the Rams advance to the Divisional round.

Stafford said that, after the offense got an early lead, the defense “just went crazy and was attacking the quarterback.” That was the case for all four quarters as the Rams totaled as they did many sacks as points allowed.

Of the circumstances with the wildfires, Stafford said “we weren’t playing just for us, (we were) playing for people back home that needed something to watch and enjoy, and I’m glad we could give that to them.” Stafford said he “can’t say enough” about the fans coming out to support in Arizona and the organization making the atmosphere possible on short notice.

Next week’s matchup with the Eagles will be another rematch from earlier this year, and Stafford said “they gave us all we could handle” last time, so they need to start preparing immediately.
