Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, who had only two interceptions prior to Week 13, threw two picks and lost a fumble in a 31-28 loss to the Panthers, taking responsibility for the defeat. As he prepares for a playoff rematch against the Panthers, Stafford emphasizes the need to avoid turnovers. He acknowledges the teams have changed since their last encounter, especially with the return of All-Pro cornerback Jaycee Horn for Carolina. Stafford expects a tougher challenge from the Panthers’ defense and aims to prevent another upset.
