After catching the ball and going to the ground, Van Jefferson got up at the 12 yard line and ran it in. [

Had he been touched by one of the Bears' defenders before he got up, Stafford would have 309 yards passing instead of 321, and would have had 2 TDs instead of 3. Of course, Stafford could have thrown a 12 yd TD pass on the next play ... but ignoring that possibility, Stafford's resulting stat line would have been 20 for 26, 309 yards, 2 TDs, and 0 int.
With that stat line Stafford's passer rating would have been 141.4 instead of 156.1.
