DENVER — Matthew Stafford became the NFL’s all-time leader in pick-sixes thrown during a game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday night. Stafford's 33rd pick-six occurred when Broncos safety Talanoa Hufanga intercepted a pass intended for Kyren Williams and returned it 66 yards for a touchdown with 4:49 remaining in the fourth quarter. This record surpasses the previous mark of 32 held by Brett Favre, while Dan Marino ranks third with 29.
The Rams had taken a 19-16 lead after stopping the Broncos' second-half scoring, but Stafford's interception shifted the momentum, resulting in a 23-19 deficit for Los Angeles. Hufunga intercepted Stafford again in the end zone on the final play of the game, contributing to the Broncos' 30-26 victory.
Stafford, a 38-year-old reigning MVP, has had numerous memorable fourth-quarter performances in his career, but this game marked a record-setting moment for the wrong reasons.
