Stafford completed 23 of 35 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 27-23 loss to the Packers, adding two carries for 22 yards with a lost fumble.
Stafford didn't play a bad game overall, but he mostly settled for short passes, and then lost a crucial fumble in the third quarter to let Green Bay right back into the contest. He later redeemed himself with a 29-yard completion to T.J. Jones that seemingly sealed the game, but the Packers got the ball back with 23 seconds remaining and won on a hail mary. Despite the disappointment of losing out on any last-ditch playoff hopes, Stafford and the rest of the Detroit offense have undeniably shown significant improvement in recent weeks. The Lions will get some extra rest ahead of a Week 14 road matchup with a Rams defense that has recently felt the toll of some key injuries.
