Matthew Stafford is having an absolutely spectacular season right now, leading the Detroit Lions to a 7-4 record and first place in the NFC North.





Stafford has especially stepped his game up when it comes to clutch situation, leading the NFL this year in fourth-quarter comebacks.





However, the one thing Stafford has never been particularly famous for his mobility, which only makes his run against the New Orleans Saints earlier today all the more surprising. ​

​​But if you watch closely, at the end of the play, defensive tackle Nick Fairley pulls a completely unnecessary cheap shot on Stafford.

​​Hopefully this isn't bounty related. I'm sure the Saints don't want to get involved in that mess again.
