- This is going to be amazing to watch:
Matthew Stafford adds to his NFL Films legacy. He was mic'd up for this game. Asked him about it after: "They should be paying me."

- Matthew Stafford is on the verge of breaking another franchise passing record.
Stafford tied Bobby Layne for most career TD passes in Lions history with 118.

- Stafford's tackle on his second interception turned out to be pretty important.
Matthew Stafford, who made a TD-saving tackle on his last INT, said he last played defense in 8th grade when he was a free safety

- Golden Tate set two more career highs on Sunday.
Golden Tate's 10 catches and 154 yards were both career highs. #Lions

- Corey Fuller's game-winning touchdown was actually the first TD of his NFL career.
- An audible by Glover Quin and James Ihedigbo helped lead to the Lions' key interception late in the fourth quarter.
Quin said he and Ihedigbo switched spots in Cover 1 right before Brees INT to try and confuse him, normally GQ high, Digg low, not there

- The Lions absolutely shut down Drew Brees at the end of Sunday's game.
Correction: Brees was 2-of-10 for 7 yards with an interception the last two drives. Still pretty good by #Lions D.

Carlos Monarrez reports that Brandon Pettigrew limped to the X-ray room following Sunday's game. During the game, Kyle Meinke reported that trainers were looking at Pettigrew's right leg and ankle, so it appears another Lions tight end may be injured.
-
Sam Martin deserves some love for the game he had on Sunday.
Unsung hero: @SamMartin_6. Four of his five punts downed inside the 20, including clutch coffin corner that went out inside the 1.

- You're not wrong, Matt Prater.
Prater on his field goal off the upright: "I think if I would have missed that everyone in Detroit would have tried to kill me today."

- Amazingly, Sunday's game was the Lions' first all season without a missed field goal. It's been a pretty rough year for their kickers:
#Lions FGs by week: 1: 2/3 (Freese) 2: 0/2 (Freese) 3: 1/2 (Freese) 4: 1/2 (Henery) 5: 0/3 (Henery) 6: 1/3 (Prater) 7: 1/1 (Prater)
