Rams' Sean McVay Says Matthew Stafford Has 'Been Better Than I Thought' He'd Be

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said quarterback Matthew Stafford has exceeded expectations since being acquired in a blockbuster offseason trade.

"He has been better than I thought, and I thought he was going to be really good," McVay told reporters. "I've been really impressed with his body of work and his resume over the course of his career. I think he's doing a great job. I think the best players elevate those around them. I think guys are playing better around him."

Stafford and the Rams (5-1) face off with his former team, the Detroit Lions (0-6), in Week 7 on Sunday.
