When Matthew Stafford’s final pass attempt of the 2024 season sailed over the head of Puka Nacua into the Rams’ sideline on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, a harsh reality started to set in.
It didn’t take long for everyone to start wondering what might be ahead for Stafford, who turns 37 in February.
“I’ll talk about my present,” Stafford said on Sunday after the game. “Obviously, proud to be associated with this group, coaching staff, front office, group of players, training staff, equipment guys and everybody. It was a hell of an effort all year to get to this point. Anytime, you play like this and get into the playoffs and get a win to keep it moving, anytime you come up short it’s even tougher. That’s difficult but proud to be associated with this group.
“As far as my future goes, I mean it’s 30 minutes after our last game, so I’ll take some time to think about it. I feel like I was playing some really good ball.”
