Are Matthew Stafford and Rams’ passing game Super Bowl ready?

There are some silver linings. LA is still explosive through the air. They need to become more efficient on a play-by-play basis.

The Rams aren't allowing much in the way of pressure. They're top 10 in the two key metrics. Stafford is getting rid of the ball quickly on average—that helps. Somehow LA is still towards the top in average depth of target. Those two metrics usually correlate inversely. It's impressive to have it both ways.

In terms of the Rams' leading man, Matthew Stafford individually ranks as PFF's 22nd quarterback in offensive grade. The veteran has earned a positive grade on 12.4% of his plays, which puts him 30th of the 41 quarterbacks to drop back so far this season. Negative plays comprise 8.8% of his total and that is good for 20th of 41.
