Major Blow for Matthew Stafford ahead of Eagles vs. Rams Divisional Showdown

As Sunday’s game in Philadelphia approaches, Eagles fans are left wondering if snow might impact their playoff showdown with the Rams. For Matthew Stafford, the potential weather conditions could be a significant hurdle. With a career record of 1-8 in games played outdoors in rain or snow, a 54.6% completion rate, 14 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and a 76.0 passer rating in such conditions, the forecast could work heavily in the Eagles’ favor.

If Mother Nature decides to drop the white stuff, this playoff showdown is about to get even more electric. Snow game in Philly? Oh, baby, sign me up.

Alright, Philly, let’s talk about the weather forecast for Sunday because it’s shaping up to be absolute chef’s kiss football weather. High of 37 degrees, with some good ol’ cold, wet, and maybe even snowy conditions on the menu. Perfect for a playoff game at the Linc, right? Well, maybe not if you’re Matthew Stafford.

Sure, Stafford’s got a cute little stat with the Rams, going 3-0 in games where temps are 37 degrees or lower. But let’s not get it twisted—his overall January record is 2-4, and he absolutely stinks in the rain. Don’t take my word for it; Warren Sharp of Sharp Football Analysis laid it out on X: “Matthew Stafford is 1-6 in his career in the rain.” Woof.

Now flip the script to Jalen Hurts. Our guy is built for this. When the temperature drops to 37 or below, Hurts has a 5-2 record as the Eagles’ starting QB. Cold weather? Rain? Snow? Bring it on. It’s just another reason why us Philly fans are fired up for this one.
