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. While in the process of being sacked, Stafford cleverly decided to toss the ball away into the ground in front of him.

The Vikings jumped on the loose ball and returned it for a touchdown, but it was ultimately called back because officials determined that Stafford was attempting to throw the ball. Minnesota thought it had made a game-changing play, and it might have if not for the quick wits of Stafford.

NFL fans were split on how they felt about the ruling, with some suggesting it should have been considered a fumble and others saying that it was a moment of brilliance from the 36-year-old quarterback.

A league that’s been plagued by the question of “what is a catch?” may now be facing a similar problem when it comes to, “what is a throw?”
