Rams' fans already know it doesn't matter if he plays well in the last 2 games of this season.

Stafford will be judged by his performance in the playoffs.

If the Rams win their last 2 regular season games, he will be guaranteed to host his first playoff game in his 13-year career.

Stafford is under the microscope by many fans and several of the NFL media talking heads.
