Stafford underwent additional testing a day after a finger on his right (throwing) hand bent backward during the Rams' 34-31 victory over the Carolina Panthers in the NFC wild-card round Saturday. He hurt it after hitting the arm of a Panthers defender while attempting a pass late in the first half. The MVP candidate said he was able to finish the game in part because of "adrenaline.""It wasn't pleasant," he said Saturday.
