Ahead of their primetime matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford took some time to make a fighting fan's day.

The boy in the video, whom the Rams did not name, is battling cancer and was able to meet the signal-caller on the So-Fi Stadium turf before kickoff. Stafford also signed a jersey for him.
