Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford still ranked among NFL’s elite duos entering 2025

The Los Angeles Rams have been among the NFC's best teams in each of the last two seasons, and its no surprise considering they have one of the best head coach-quarterback partnerships the league has seen since 2021.Head coach Sean McVay and quarterback Matthew Stafford have been ranked the No.

3 coach-quarterback duo in the NFL entering the 2025 season, according to Sports Illustrateds Matt Verderame.

Its the same spot they held in last years rankings, but this time, the context feels different.

The Rams are no longer a team trying to reclaim past glorytheyre actively building on it.The Rams are back to being Super Bowl favorites after a few seasons as fringe contenders.

Matthew Stafford is 37 years old but still one of the NFLs top signal-callers despite having only thrown for 3,762 yards and 20 touchdowns across 16 starts in 2024.

McVay is one of the best tacticians in the league, having already won a Super Bowl in the 2021 season.Stafford, now 37, continues to defy the typical quarterback aging curve.

While his 2024 stats (3,762 passing yards, 20 touchdowns) wont jump off the page, his command of McVays system, ability to elevate young talent, and clutch performances have kept the Rams firmly in the title mix.MATTHEW STAFFORD TO DEMARCUS ROBINSON ONE-HANDED TD TO WIN THE GAME FOR THE @RAMSNFL! pic.twitter.com/xqFG6xQ4eS NFL (@NFL) November 4, 2024McVay, meanwhile, remains one of the most innovative minds in football, a Super Bowl-winning tactician whose offensive schemes continue to evolve with the game.

His partnership with Stafford has been foundational to L.A.'s success, especially as the team retooled its roster after parting ways with several veterans in recent years.Only two duos outranked them: John Harbaugh and Lamar Jackson of the Ravens, who will face off against the Rams in Week 6, and Andy Reid with Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City.

Thats elite company, and fitting for a duo that already has a championship together and might not be done chasing another.The Rams may not be the flashiest pick to win it all in 2025, but with McVay and Stafford steering the ship, theyre as dangerous as anyone.Follow Rams Wire on X and Facebook for more coverage!This article originally appeared on Rams Wire: Rams' Sean McVay, Matthew Stafford ranked among NFL's best duos.
