Matthew Stafford had great protection for basically the whole night, and took care of the ball against a defense that lives to make big plays. He wasn’t terrific, but he did what he needed to do, and took advantage of the opportunities that were in front of him. Right before the half he hit Davis Allen for a this 13 yard TD to stretch it to a three TD game heading into the halftime break. That would be all the lead the Rams needed. Stafford went 19.27 for 209 yards and 2 TDs and the defense carried the load the rest of the way.
The Rams will head back to LA tonight, not knowing if they will even be able to use their practice facility in preparations for their Division Round game in Philly next week. They will get home and figure that out, but for now they are going to enjoy this win over a team that went 14-3 and was battling for a one seed in the NFC until the last week of the season.
