NFL Note - Detroit Lions Stafford, Matthew
Dec 11, 2017 - 8:51 AM QB Matthew Stafford had been questionable as he recovered from an injury to his right throwing hand. But when it mattered most Sunday, especially to Stafford's teammates, there was no doubt."The guy is clutch," Lions receiver Kenny Golladay said.
Stafford completed all five of his pass attempts on Detroit's final drive, positioning Matt Prater for a game-winning 46-yard field goal with 20 seconds remaining and allowed the Lions to keep alive their flickering NFC playoff hopes with a 24-21 victory over the turnover-plagued Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium.
Stafford completed 36-of-44 passes for 381 yards and one touchdown.
Stafford made his 109th consecutive NFL start.
