Matthew Stafford drops MVP-caliber dime to Colby Parkinson for go-ahead TD

The Los Angeles Rams found themselves in a dogfight with the Carolina Panthers in Saturday’s Wild Card showdown. The heavily favored Rams jumped out to an early 14-0 advantage. But the Panthers battled back, taking a 31-27 lead with under three minutes remaining in the game.

Carolina’s defense impressed as Matthew Stafford and the Rams struggled in the second half. But the MVP frontrunner delivered with the game on the line. Trailing by four points late, Stafford led a clutch seven-play, 71-yard drive. And he put the Rams up for good with a 19-yard dime to Colby Parkinson.
