Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford wouldn’t confirm nor deny if Sunday night was the final dance of his illustrious playing career.
Matthew Stafford and the Rams put up a heroic fight against the heavily-favored Philadelphia Eagles in Sunday’s Divisional round tilt, dropping a heartbreaker 28-22 in the snowy conditions at Lincoln Financial Field.
Stafford’s age (37 on Feb. 7) and recent injury history has led to speculation that he may call it quits despite playing at a high level. The Super Bowl 51 champion, however, doesn’t seem ready to make a final call.
Per Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic, Stafford declined to talk about his playing future following Sunday’s loss. Rodrigue asked the veteran QB if he still feels there’s some football left in him, to which Stafford said, “Sure feels like it.”
