Matthew Stafford Throws For Only 110 Yards But Gets The Win

Sunday, December 22, 7:07 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Rams stayed atop the NFC West with a 19-9 road win against the Jets, although the veteran's passing totals were not impressive. Stafford threw for 110 yards with a touchdown and an interception while completing 14 of his only 19 pass attempts. Neither offense was very productive in the cold in New York City, but Stafford did just enough to get the Rams their fourth straight victory. He and the Rams come home to finish the regular season with games against the Cardinals and Rams.

Jameis Winston News

Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Jameis Winston Both Limited Wednesday

Wednesday, December 25, 9:10 PM

Cleveland Browns quarterbacks Dorian Thompson-Robinson (calf) and Jameis Winston (right shoulder) were limited participants during practice on Wednesday. The Browns' quarterback problems have been no secret this year, and it now appears that a pair of injuries have further complicated the situation. Thompson-Robinson earned his first start of the season last week, completing 20 of 34 pass attempts for 157 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also rushed for 32 yards. Most of his positive momentum came in garbage time, as the 25-year-old didn't inspire much confidence in his playing ability and the Browns' overall offensive performance. Still, it appears he remains the preferred option for the job over Winston, who tossed eight interceptions over his final three games under center. Injuries could certainly impact the starting quarterback decision for Week 17 against the Miami Dolphins, but assuming both are healthy, Thompson-Robinson will likely be named the team's primary quarterback for the second week in a row. We can't rule out snaps for Bailey Zappe, either. The 25-year-old Western Kentucky product was active as Thompson-Robinson's backup last week since Winston was inactive as the emergency third quarterback. None of these players have legitimate fantasy appeal long-term.
