Why It Matters: The reigning MVP struggled throughout the game against the 49ers, being held without a touchdown pass for the first time since Week 17 of 2024. It’s worth remembering that the 38-year-old took a while to warm up last season, throwing five TD passes combined through three games before tossing 41 of them over the remaining 14 (2.9 per game). Unusual travel, unusual field, unusual start time. It’s far too soon to be at all concerned about Stafford and this passing attack.
