Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford sliced and diced the New Orleans Saints defense in a 30—22 victory on Thursday Night Football at SoFi Stadium.
Stafford, who threw for 328 yards and two touchdown passes, helped Los Angeles take a lead into halftime, and the Rams would not relinquish it in the second half.
While Stafford’s overall fine play was a major point of discussion after the Rams’ win, one play from the veteran quarterback had NFL fans buzzing. On a third down in the second quarter, Stafford rolled out to his left as multiple defenders closed in, and he avoided the pressure by zipping a sidearm throw just past New Orleans safety Jordan Howden’s outstretched arm and into the hands of Rams wideout Demarcus Robinson.
