Matthew Stafford documentary looks at Rams quarterback's life on and off the field

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The Los Angeles Rams won a Super Bowl with Matthew Stafford at quarterback, and they hope to get there again this season.

As Stafford heads into his fourth season with the team, a new documentary showcases Stafford's life on and off the field.

"Football is not for everybody. I love the challenge. It's not easy. It's hard," Stafford said in a clip from the documentary.

The Rams are giving fans an inside look into the star quarterback's life in a new documentary, "Mathew Stafford: Locked In." The film explores the pressure of the playoffs last season and facing off against his former team.

Stafford typically stays out of the spotlight, but this new documentary pulls the curtain back to let fans see his life both on and off the field as a player, husband and father.

The film's director, Justin Polks, says there's an overall theme of the noise vs. quiet in this documentary. As a quarterback, Stafford is dealing with coaches in his ear, football players, plays being called but before that snap on the field, he learns to tune it out and lock in.

"It started off with 'let's just show the two games in five days.' There's a game on a Sunday and a game on a Thursday. How do football players deal with that? How does Matthew Stafford himself deal with that?" Polks said. "And then from there it kind of took on a life of its own.

The Rams ultimately lost to the Detroit Lions in the playoffs, but it came down to the wire and the Rams gave it their all. The film shows you the moments during the game, after the loss and how Stafford's leadership played a role.
