Stafford Finds Terrance Ferguson in a Rare Rams Highlight Against Falcons
If you’re looking back at the Rams’ matchup with the Falcons, one of the moments that still stands out involves Matthew Stafford and tight end Terrance Ferguson connecting on a perfectly timed touchdown. In a game that largely tilted Atlanta’s way, that single play offered a glimpse of what the Rams’ offense was trying to do and how Ferguson continues to carve out his role.
The sequence unfolded with Stafford under pressure to make something happen. Atlanta’s defense had been flying around, turnovers were piling up, and the margin on the scoreboard was growing fast. Still, the Rams kept pushing. On that drive, Stafford dropped back and calmly scanned the field. Coverage appeared to drift just enough down the seam, and Ferguson was left with a pocket of space that couldn’t be ignored. The ball was released quickly, and a 27-yard laser was delivered right into Ferguson’s hands for a touchdown.

What made the play impressive wasn’t just the distance or the score itself, but how cleanly it was executed. Ferguson didn’t have to slow down or fight for position. He was hit in stride, wide open, and the pass was placed exactly where it needed to be. In a game filled with defensive highlights for Atlanta, that moment felt like a reminder that Stafford’s arm talent can still change things in an instant when protection holds and timing clicks.
For Ferguson, the touchdown was another step forward in what has been a season defined by gradual growth. He has been used both as a safety valve and as a downfield option, and that versatility was put on display again. Earlier, he had already helped move the chains with a deep 27-yard catch that pushed the Rams into Falcons territory. When the chance came in the red zone, the trust between quarterback and tight end was clearly on display.
Unfortunately for Los Angeles, those flashes were overshadowed by everything Atlanta did right. Brandon Dorlus added to his strong season by dragging Stafford down for a nine-yard sack, pushing his sack total to 8.5. The Falcons’ secondary feasted as well, with Xavier Watts and Jessie Bates III turning Stafford’s passes into interceptions, including a costly pick-six. Bijan Robinson’s explosive runs, highlighted by a jaw-dropping 93-yard touchdown, only widened the gap.
Still, even in a lopsided game, moments like Ferguson’s touchdown matter. They show pieces the Rams can build on, especially as the season moves forward. While the scoreboard told one story, that crisp Stafford-to-Ferguson connection told another, quieter one about potential, timing, and a tight end making the most of his opportunity.
