Rams Mike LaFleur says the quiet part out loud about Matthew Stafford's success

What is the difference maker for the Los Angeles Rams in 2025? After all, it was only two seasons earlier that this team had dug itself into a 3-6 hole, and yet still managed to compete in the NFL playoffs with a 10-7 record. It seems that a 7-2 record is a much better starting position for postseason competition.

One key difference-maker is the offense's sudden explosiveness once more. Fans can point at and appreciate the elite play of wide receiver Puka Nacua, the scoring prowess of wide receiver Davante Adams, or the sudden success of 13-personnel in a once-wide receiver-heavy offense, but one common element binds all these factors.
