Matthew Stafford earned the first playoff victory of his career when the Rams defeated the Cardinals in the Wild Card round. Stafford threw two touchdowns and zero interceptions in a much-needed solid performance. He threw eight interceptions across the last four games of the regular season, so maybe he is heading back in the right direction now.
