Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford threw an incredible no-look pass late in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LVI. With the Rams trailing 20-16 against the Cincinnati Bengals, Stafford needed to get creative to get an explosive play in the passing game.
Stafford and Los Angeles lost key wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to a knee injury earlier in the game. The Bengals knew Stafford would be targeting star receiver Cooper Kupp more often after Beckham’s injury.
Matthew Stafford, a former Georgia Bulldog, still found a way to get the ball to Cooper Kupp even if that meant not looking at him. Stafford’s no-look pass is a thing of beauty:

Kupp was named Super Bowl MVP for his two touchdown performance. Stafford is the first Georgia quarterback to start and win a Super Bowl in NFL history.
