Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford mixed in a no-look pass to Cooper Kupp as he was leading a game-winning drive in Super Bowl LVI. On Sunday, he wasted no time employing the trickery again while marching the Rams down the field for a go-ahead first-quarter score.
Stafford played well against the Eagles, throwing for 324 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions on 44 attempts. However, he was sacked five times and lost a fumble. He was harassed all game long by former Bulldogs Nolan Smith and Jalen Carter.
