Despite claims that Rams QB Matthew Stafford fumbled the football, the evidence shows he clearly executed a legal forward pass

The Los Angeles Rams got off to a hot start against the Minnesota Vikings in Monday night's wild-card playoff game. Their quarterback, Matthew Stafford, may have also gotten away with a fumble, or at least intentional grounding, when he pulled off a dangerous pass attempt to avoid a first-half sack.

Stafford has a potential out in 2025, but should he take the field in Rams gear he will net a base salary of $23,000,000 with an additional $4,000,000 roster bonus and $6,500,000 option proration, assuming no further restructures are agreed upon.
