THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Matthew Stafford has been one of the NFL’s most-durable quarterbacks over the past dozen years of his career despite getting sacked a whopping 444 times over his 14 seasons in the league. The past 16 sacks have happened in the Los Angeles Rams’ first four games of the new season, but Stafford doesn’t think there’s any reason to be worried about his health. Only Carson Wentz has been sacked more times this season than Stafford, who has gone two straight weeks without throwing a touchdown pass. He threw for at least one score in his first 23 games in LA.
