Matthew Stafford Clinches NFL MVP, Vows to Return to Rams Next Season
Los Angeles quarterback Matthew Stafford took home the coveted NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP) award in a closely contested race against New England's Drake Maye. The 38-year-old veteran secured the top spot with 24 of 50 first-place votes, narrowly edging out his opponent.
Stafford expressed gratitude to his teammates and coaches for their support throughout an impressive season, which saw him lead the league with 4,707 yards passing and 46 touchdowns. However, he also acknowledged that the team's losses, including a heartbreaking defeat in the NFC championship game, were a collective effort rather than solely his responsibility.
Stafford vowed to return to Los Angeles next season, citing an "amazing" year with "a great group of guys and great coaches." The Rams quarterback thanked his wife and daughters for their unwavering support at games, promising to have them cheering him on again next year.
As the MVP winner walked away from the stage, Stafford couldn't help but think about the Super Bowl just hours later. With the New England Patriots facing off against the Seattle Seahawks, Stafford's teammate Drake Maye has a chance to clinch his own championship title.
Stafford's thoughts also turned to his future with the Rams, as he vowed to return and "kick ass" alongside his teammates next season. The veteran quarterback seemed rejuvenated by an incredible 2024 campaign, which left him feeling confident about another year of success in Los Angeles.
With Stafford's win, Myles Garrett took home the Defensive Player of the Year award for a second consecutive year after setting a record with 23 sacks. Seattle's Jaxon Smith-Njigba claimed the Offensive Player of the Year honor, while Mike Vrabel emerged as Coach of the Year winner. Additionally, New England running back Christian McCaffrey became the first back to win the NFL Comeback Player award in 24 years.
Despite the excitement surrounding Stafford's MVP win, it remains to be seen how this season will impact his future with the Rams and whether he'll return for another title chase next year.

I'm not surprised Matt Stafford won the MVP award, he's been on fire this season 
! 4,707 yards passing and 46 touchdowns is insane! 
But what really impresses me is how humble he is about his success. He doesn't take all the credit for his team's wins and losses, which says a lot about his leadership skills 
.
! It's going to be tough with Drake Maye's new team facing off against the Pats in the Super Bowl, but a guy can dream, right? 
! 4,707 yards passing and 46 touchdowns is insane! I know some people said he was old and done, but this award proves them wrong 
. And can we talk about how awesome it is that he's gonna come back next season? He's already hyped to kick ass with his Rams teammates 
. I'm kinda curious about what the future holds for him though... will he be able to lead them to another championship? We'll have to wait and see, but for now, let's just enjoy this epic win 
stafford is the ultimate MVP! 
i'm so hyped for him 
that's like, totally insane 
for being the real MVPs 
... can't wait to see more of stafford's greatness on the field 
I gotta say, Matthew Stafford is one lucky dude! 24 of 50 first-place votes? That's crazy talk! He definitely had an amazing season, but some people are saying it was more about his team than just him 
. The dude threw for 4,707 yards and 46 touchdowns - that's some serious business! 
And hey, if he wants to come back to the Rams next season, who am I to argue? 
. One thing for sure: Myles Garrett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are on fire this season! 
and 46 touchdowns is a lot to deal with for defenses 
. stafford's vow to return next season is super encouraging tho 
i can see him having an even better year with that amazing group of guys and coaches 
. also, christian mccaffrey's comeback player award win is so inspiring 
Anyway, Matthew Stafford's win is awesome! He played so well this season and I'm sure it's gonna take him a while to get back into the swing of things next year. Maybe he should've taken care of himself during the offseason lol 
. But for real though, I loved watching him play with Drake Maye - that dude's got skills 
But hey, he's promised to come back next season and "kick ass" again, so fingers crossed for that 
️
. Can't wait to see how it all plays out 
. Can't wait to see if he'll return to LA next season and lead those Rams to another championship 
, cant wait to see what next season has in store for him & the rams 
. And now the pressure's on Drake Maye to lead the Pats to a Super Bowl win 
did stafford really earn all those first place votes or was it just a popularity contest? 
! He's been low-key killing it all season with his clutch throws and leadership skills 
. Can't wait for the offseason to get even more hyped about Rams training camp 
Still gotta respect Stafford's performance, 4,707 yards passing is crazy! But what really gets me is how he's already thinking about next season and wanting to come back with his family cheering him on 
). The fact that he gave props to his team and coaches says a lot about the guy. I'm hyped for next season already, hopefully they can bring home that Super Bowl 
. anyway, i'm hyped for next season already, can't wait to see stafford back in action 
. i heard he's not leaving los angeles next year, which is music to my ears 
! he'll be back, kicking ass with his teammates 
touchdowns? that's crazy! plus, the rams' loss in the nfc championship game was still pretty harsh on stafford 
. and what's with everyone forgetting about myles garrett's 23 sacks? 
he's the real MVP in my book 
! 
, they were there for him every step of way and now he promises to have them cheering him on again next season
