Playing in his first game since sustaining a torn ACL 11 months ago, Tyler Higbee catches the go-ahead touchdown pass in the Rams' 19-9 comeback win.

Tyler Higbee is one of the longest-tenured players on the Los Angeles Rams’ roster, which has made him a leader in the locker room throughout the last several years. He’s beloved by his teammates, which is what made his return to the field so special on Sunday afternoon.

Three plays and 11 months after Higbee’s brutal injury, Matthew Stafford got the ball to him for an 11-yard touchdown. McVay and Stafford hinted that they called the specific play on purpose in the situation, with more than one option available against the look they got from the Jets defense.
