Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has explained why he’s pleased to see the new 'emergency QB' rule introduced by the NFL.
On Monday a new bylaw was passed which will allow NFL teams to name third active quarterbacks on their gameday roster. The third QB will not count towards the limit of active players allowed in a gameday roster, and will only be activated should the first or second quarterback be either injured or ejected, and not benched to be substituted.
It was in the NFC Championship game last season that saw the San Francisco 49ers heavily hindered by injury and misfortune. It’s that game that contributed towards the league bringing in the new rule.
