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 led the way for the Rams in their "Monday Night Football" victory over the Minnesota Vikings, completing 19 of his 27 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns. The Rams led 24-3 at the half and never looked back as they secured the 27-9 victory to move on to the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs.
