Matthew Stafford discussed his passing chemistry with Rams receivers following a 24-9 victory over the Chargers on November 1. Amid calls for the Rams to acquire more wide receiver talent before the trade deadline, Stafford acknowledged both his success and the need for improvement, particularly lamenting an interception. The Rams continue to adjust their offense without six-time Pro Bowler Davante Adams, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury.
