Matthew Stafford named a top regression candidate in 2026 by PFF
Matthew Stafford has been identified as a potential regression candidate for the 2026 NFL season by Pro Football Focus. Despite a highly efficient 2025 season, analysts suggest that Stafford may throw more interceptions in 2026 due to a combination of factors. Historical data indicates that maintaining such a low interception rate is unlikely, given the number of turnover-worthy throws he made last season.
- ▪Matthew Stafford led the league with 4,707 passing yards and 46 touchdowns in 2025.
- ▪Pro Football Focus predicts Stafford will likely throw more interceptions in 2026 compared to the previous season.
- ▪Stafford's 2025 season featured 21 turnover-worthy throws, which typically would result in more interceptions.
- ▪He only threw eight interceptions in 2025, despite league averages suggesting he should have thrown closer to 15 or 16.
- ▪Stafford's understanding of the Rams' offense has allowed him to play more conservatively than in previous years.
