N.F.L. Playoffs Live Updates: Stafford Throws Second Touchdown

The Los Angeles Rams have a 10-3 lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after the first quarter, with quarterback Matthew Stafford finding tight end Kendall Blanton for the game’s first touchdown.

The Rams, who drove down the field on their first possession to score a field goal, again moved inside the 10-yard line on their next drive.

Stafford found receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on a play-action pass, which was good for 9 yards, on the first play of the possession.

The Buccaneers haven’t gotten much pressure on Stafford early in the game. He has had a clean pocket and plenty of time to make his throws so far, completing 8 of 11 passes for 106 yards.
