Matthew Stafford is throwing the ball about as well as anyone in the NFL right now, and that remained true in the first half on Sunday against the Eagles. After hitting Tutu Atwell for a touchdown in the first quarter, he came back in the second quarter with a touchdown pass to Puka Nacua – this one even better than the last.
He threw a dime to Nacua from 22 yards out, putting it in a perfect spot for the rookie receiver, who hauled it in for his second career touchdown. It came against James Bradberry, too, who is a talented cornerback with a lot of NFL experience.
Here’s a look at the play from Stafford to Nacua.

And another angle from the end zone, because why not?
THE PASS. THE CATCH. GOOD LAWD.
