The debate over who should win the NFL’s MVP award this year is heating up, with defensive coordinator Wink Martindale throwing Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford into the mix.
Martindale, who coaches the New York Giants, made it clear that he believes Stafford deserves to be part of the MVP conversation, along with Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Martindale praised Stafford’s performance, saying that he is playing at a “Hall of Fame-type level.”
Martindale highlighted Stafford’s impressive throws and his ability to lead the Rams to victory, noting that the team has been scoring over 30 points per game since their bye week. He also credited Rams head coach Sean McVay for his commitment to the run game, which has made the offense a potent force on the field.
Since their Week 10 break, the Rams have posted a 5-1 record, and Stafford has put up impressive numbers, completing 62 percent of his throws for 3,648 yards with 23 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
The Giants are set to face off against the Rams this Sunday, giving Stafford another opportunity to demonstrate why he should be considered for the MVP award. As the playoff race heats up, all eyes will be on Stafford and the Rams as they make a push towards the postseason.
