Matthew Stafford of the Los Angeles Rams has the numbers, as he tops the NFL with a career-high 42 touchdown passes and trails league leader Prescott in passing yards by only 34 with 4,448, which marks the 10th time he has eclipsed the 4,000-yard mark.

New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel had a strong pitch for Drake Maye when asked why he believes the second-year quarterback is worthy of the MVP award.
The Rams plan on playing at least some of their starters in Week 18, Sean McVay said following the loss to Atlanta, but it'll be interesting to see if he sticks to that. The Rams in the past have generally rested guys when only seeding was on the line in the final week of the season.
Winning the MVP would mean a lot to Drake Maye, but he knows it wouldn't be possible if he didn't have his Patriots teammates.
