Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has taken home yet another end of year award, this time being named the NFC Offensive Player of the Year at the 101 Awards.
While it's disappointing that the Los Angeles Rams lost the NFC Championship to the Seattle Seahawks, that doesn't mean this hasn't been a successful season.
That's especially true for quarterback Matthew Stafford, who has arguably had the best season of his NFL career.
In the regular season, Stafford led the NFL with 4,707 passing yards, 46 passing touchdowns, 236 passing first downs, and 276.9 passing yards per game. Additionally, he completed 388 of 597 passes and only threw 8 interceptions.
Naturally, Stafford has received numerous accolades for his excellent play, including being named to the Pro Bowl, a first-team All-Pro, the Pro Football Writers of America Most Valuable Player, and a finalist for NFL MVP.
Now, he can add another end of year award to that list.
The 101 Awards, the nation's longest-running awards program dedicated to the NFL, has named Stafford as their NFC Offensive Player of the Year for the 2025 NFL Season.
"In his 17th season, Stafford aided the Rams to a 12-5 record and the 5th seed in the NFC playoffs," the 101 Awards said. "He finished the season as the league leader in passing yards (4,707) and passing touchdowns (46), a franchise and career-high for scoring throws. Additionally, Stafford completed 388 of 597 passes and a career-high 109.2 overall passer rating.
"Stafford moved into sixth all time in career passing yards (64,516) and seventh all-time in career passing touchdowns (423) after his 2025 campaign. He was named AP First-Team All-Pro for the first time in his career, and this is Stafford’s first 101 Player of the Year Award."
The last player to win this award for the Rams organization was wide receiver Cooper Kupp in 2021. Kupp is now heading into Super Bowl LX with the Seahawks.
Other 101 Award winners include the Seahawks' Mike McDonald for NFC Coach of the Year, Green Bay Packers linebacker Micah Parsons for NFC Defensive Player of the Year, the New England Patriots' Mike Vrabel for AFC Coach of the Year, Patriots quarterback Drake Maye for AFC Offensive Player of the Year, and Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett as AFC Defensive Player of the Year.
Now, the question remains what the future holds for Stafford and the Rams. While he has a year left on his contract, Stafford is 38 years old and the question of retirement is looming over his head.
No matter what he chooses to do, Stafford has left a lasting effect on the Rams and is a deserved future Hall of Famer.
