Matthew Stafford had the sports world buzzing on Monday after a video clip was shared by the Rams showing a ridiculous no-look pass he made on the game-winning drive in Super Bowl LVI.
The perfect camera angle showed just how difficult of a throw it was, baiting the safety Vonn Bell into thinking he was throwing it to Brycen Hopkins, only to throw it to Cooper Kupp for a 22-yard gain.
Patrick Mahomes, who gets a ton of attention for his own no-look passes, was impressed by the throw, too. He tweeted his reaction to Stafford’s magical throw, which gets better every time you watch it.

Given the situation and magnitude of it, making that throw takes some serious guts – and Stafford delivered in the biggest moment of his life. Everyone will remember Kupp’s game-winning touchdown, but that play may not happen if Stafford doesn’t make this one to keep the drive alive.
It was an all-time dart in the Super Bowl.
