16+ min ago (136+ words) Matthew Stafford's MVP campaign broke another record. The Los Angeles Rams' star quarterback threw his 31st touchdown pass of the season in the first quarter of the Week 13 game against the Carolina Panthers. While the score will help his MVP resume, it also broke a record Tom Brady set with the New England Patriots during the 2010-2011 season. Stafford tossed his 27th consecutive touchdown pass without throwing an interception, which is now an NFL record. The fact that it went to Davante Adams was the cherry on top, as it was Adams' 13th touchdown reception of the year. He, like Stafford, leads the NFL in touchdowns. Stafford can build on that record as the Rams continue against the Panthers. This article originally appeared on Rams Wire: Matthew Stafford breaks Tom Brady's 15-year record...
