On first down, Stafford was being brought to the ground but before he hit the turf, he flicked the ball out of his right hand. It was initially ruled a fumble, which was scooped up and brought back for a touchdown by the Vikings.

Some quick thinking from Matthew Stafford may have saved the Los Angeles Rams from surrendering a touchdown. During the second quarter, Stafford dropped back to pass but was swarmed by the Minnesota Vikings' pass rush.
