The Facts: No player entering Super Wild Card weekend is under more perceived pressure than Stafford. Despite the presumption that he's under pressure, Stafford said Thursday he's not feeling the weight as the Rams head towards their Monday night postseason showdown with the Cardinals. "Every time I step on the field, I'm proving myself, whether it's a preseason game or a regular-season game, practice, a playoff game," he said. "I want to go out there and play well. This is just another opportunity to do that."

Diehards Line: L.A. traded for the veteran quarterback this offseason, believing he was the final piece of the puzzle to hoisting a Lombardi Trophy. After a rollercoaster season, now is the time for Stafford to prove he can get the Rams over the hump. In 12 seasons with the Detroit Lions, Stafford's teams went 0-3 in postseason appearances. Stafford's three straight losses to begin his playoff career are tied for the third-longest streak in NFL history behind Hall of Famer Y.A. Tittle and Andy Dalton (4) -- Tittle and Dalton never have won a playoff game -- and tied for the longest streak by a No. 1 overall pick (Peyton Manning). Throughout his career, Stafford has churned out yards and made splash plays. But the big wins have always eluded the QB. Now he's on a team of stars with a chance to rewrite the narrative.
