You may have gotten some debris (mud, water etc) on the small elements in your MAF sensor. You can unplug it and check to see if you can see anything in it and clean it. That could clear it up. Give it a few minutes and some more guys will respond here shortly to either back me up or tell me to shut up. hahaha

Oh and you can clean your MAF sensor with alcohol and a q-tip but be EXTREMELY careful. I say go to an auto parts store and pick up a can of MAF cleaner. It's about $5 and will last you for a long while. Definitely good to have if you spend a lot of time offroad.

Get the MAF stuff. Pull your sensor and pull the plug. Spray some contact cleaner on the plug and use connector protector. Next, use the MAF cleaner and FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS.

X2 or disconnect the battery for a while and see if that clears it.
