Matthew Stafford's 11-yard touchdown pass to Puka Nacua gave him 155 career touchdown passes with the Los Angeles Rams, breaking Roman Gabriel's franchise record of 154, in a 35-21 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Oct. 25, 2026. Stafford also holds the Detroit Lions career mark with 282 touchdown passes and became the first NFL quarterback to hold the career touchdown-pass record for two franchises. He completed 23 of 29 passes for 195 yards and three touchdowns. The Rams improved to 3-4 and snapped a two-game losing streak. Wire accounts place the Raiders at 3-4 with a losing streak extended to four games. Kyren Williams had 16 carries for 99 yards and a touchdown; Blake Corum had 17 carries for 93 yards and a touchdown; the Rams combined for 33 carries and 192 rushing yards. Nacua caught eight passes on 10 targets for 68 yards and a touchdown while playing through a calf injury from Thursday practice. After a Williams fumble, the Rams defense forced a turnover on downs. A tipped-ball interception let the Raiders close to within 10 before a 12-play, 70-yard drive lasting 6:38 ended in Corum's clinching score. Kirk Cousins greeted Stafford after the game. Contested factual splits on the core score, records, and totals: none found. Coverage differed in emphasis, not in those figures.

That 11-yard score to Nacua putting him over the top for the Rams feels like a fitting way to mark the milestone after his time in Detroit.
Stafford holding the passing TD record for both the Rams and Lions is a rare feat that shows how consistent he's been across teams.
