ARLINGTON, Texas — Matthew Stafford didn't make it to the finish of his homecoming game against the Dallas Cowboys. The Los Angeles Rams quarterback injured the thumb on his throwing (right) hand on a failed 2-point conversion pass in the final seconds of the first half. Coach Sean McVay says Stafford was knocked out of the game by an aggravation of the injury after catching a 2-point pass from receiver Tutu Atwell on a double-reverse. The former Dallas high school standout was replaced by Brett Rypien late in the third quarter. Stafford's early interception was returned 30 yards for a touchdown by DaRon Bland as the Cowboys built a 33-3 lead in the first half.
