Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford set an NFL record early in the first quarter of their game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Stafford completed a 4-of-5 pass on the Rams’ first drive and found wide receiver Davante Adams for a 4-yard touchdown pass to end the six-play, 35-yard drive. It was Stafford’s 28th touchdown pass without throwing an interception, breaking a record previously set by Tom Brady.
