Matthew Stafford can become first LA Rams QB to throw TD pass in Super Bowl

Here’s a trivia question for you: How many Los Angeles Rams quarterbacks have thrown a touchdown pass in the Super Bowl? The answer: zero.

This will be the Rams’ fifth trip to the Super Bowl, their third while calling Los Angeles home. In their previous two appearances as the LA Rams, Vince Ferragamo and Jared Goff both failed to throw a single touchdown pass. Kurt Warner, of course, led the Rams to the Super Bowl twice, but they were in St. Louis during those two years.

He threw one touchdown pass against the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVI, and in the Rams’ win over the Titans two years prior, he threw two touchdown passes.

So as strange as it sounds, no quarterback from the Los Angeles Rams has ever thrown a touchdown pass in the Super Bowl. Matthew Stafford could change that on Sunday and become an obscure trivia answer for the rest of his life.

There has been a touchdown pass thrown by a member of the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl, though. He just wasn’t a quarterback. Lawrence McCutcheon threw a 24-yard touchdown pass in Super Bowl XIV 42 years ago in the Rams’ 31-19 loss to the Steelers.

It actually put the Rams up 19-17 over the Steelers in the third quarter, but Pittsburgh scored 14 unanswered in the fourth quarter to win the game.
