“I Should’ve Tried That More”: Tom Brady in Awe of What Matthew Stafford Did

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford produced one of the season’s most eye‑catching performances Sunday, and Tom Brady could not help but marvel at a no‑look touchdown pass that closed the show. The play capped a four‑touchdown day that pushed the Rams to a convincing win over the San Francisco 49ers.

Stafford completed 24 of 36 passes for 280 yards and four scores, punctuating a dominant first half with steady efficiency and late‑game flair. The no‑look throw to tight end Colby Parkinson drew national attention, with Brady praising Stafford’s command of the offense and quipping that he should have attempted the move more often himself. The sequence underscored Stafford’s comfort in Sean McVay’s scheme and his ability to execute improvisational plays without sacrificing accuracy.

Media reaction was swift, with highlight reels and analysis focusing on Stafford’s timing, pocket presence and decision making. Sports Illustrated examined how Stafford’s veteran poise has translated into cleaner reads and fewer turnovers, while broadcast commentary noted the Rams’ balanced attack that freed Stafford to take calculated risks. The performance extended Stafford’s streak of multi‑touchdown outings and bolstered his MVP candidacy in many observers’ minds.

Statistical context reinforced the narrative. Stafford became the first quarterback since the AFL‑NFL merger to throw four or more touchdowns without an interception in three consecutive games, a mark that places his recent run among the most efficient in league history. Analysts credited improved protection, schematic diversity and the emergence of playmakers such as Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams for creating opportunities that Stafford seized.

“”The Rams welcome the Seattle Seahawks to LA on Sunday as these teams look to take control of the NFC West, Brady said. “I watched Matthew Stafford play video game football against the 49ers on Sunday, and it seems he can run this offense with his eyes closed at times. I guess he’s kind of proven that with the no-look pass, right? I should’ve tried that more, it looks so cool.”

For the Rams, the timing could not be better as they prepare to host the Seattle Seahawks in a pivotal NFC West showdown. Stafford’s form raises the stakes for the matchup, with Los Angeles aiming to consolidate its divisional standing and demonstrate that the performance against the 49ers was no fluke. Opponents now must prepare for both textbook execution and spontaneous creativity.

Brady’s on‑air admiration highlighted a broader point about elite quarterbacks: the best ones make difficult throws look routine. Stafford’s no‑look touchdown was more than a highlight; it was evidence of a veteran quarterback playing at a peak level and enjoying the full expression of his craft.
