Stafford’s 28 TD streak without a pick ended vs. the Panthers

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Matthew Stafford’s NFL record streak of 28 consecutive touchdown passes in a season without an interception ended Sunday when he was picked off by Carolina Panthers safety Nick Scott in the first quarter.

Stafford connected with Deonte Adams on a four-yard touchdown pass on the opening possession of the game and was looking for more on the Rams’ second drive. But Stafford’s third pass was fumbled at the line of scrimmage and Scott intercepted the ball in the end zone.

It was Stafford’s first interception in 10 weeks.

Stafford was then stopped again on Los Angeles’ third drive when cornerback Mike Jackson’s interception was returned 48 yards for a touchdown to give Carolina a 14–7 lead.

The Panthers are playing without top cornerback Jesse Horn, who is out with a concussion.

Stafford entered the game with 30 touchdown passes and two interceptions on the season.
