Sunday's game marked Matthew Stafford's 84th career start for the Detroit Lions, tying a franchise record with Greg Landry. Assuming Stafford's hand injury doesn't hold him out of next week's game in London, he will break the record against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Your daily reminder that the offensive line is a dumpster fire:
Sore point for Matthew Stafford: on 26 pass attempts he was hit 13 times today vs Vikings. One hit for every two attempts.
No word on whether Raiola has signed a contract yet.
Should the Lions have challenged Calvin Johnson's catch late in the game?
Hard to say. The ball is incredibly close to the goal line, but I have a hard time believing it would be overturned by replay. In the end, I think Jim Caldwell did the right thing by saving a much-needed timeout. The Lions should have absolutely been able to score from there with three chances, anyway.
Former Detroit Pistons coach Flip Saunders passed away on Sunday. Detroit Bad Boys and Canis Hoopus have respectful tributes of Saunders' life and career.
