Rams QB Matthew Stafford moves into NFL’s top 10 in passing yards

CHICAGO – For the historical weight of the moment, it was a pretty innocuous play.

Backed up to their own 11 in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 24-18 loss to the Chicago Bears, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford sent running back Kyren Williams in motion to the left. After the snap, Stafford slung it out to the back for a screen pass in the flat.

Williams went 5 yards and failed to pick up a first down. But with that short gain, Stafford passed Eli Manning for the 10th most passing yards in NFL history.
