Lions quarterback Matt Stafford completed 20 of 32 passes for 188 yards, with one touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's blowout loss to Arizona. He was benched midway through the third quarter in favor of backup QB Dan Orlovsky.
Stafford's first interception came on an extremely athletic play by DE Cory Redding, but his other two picks were bad reads. It's been a funky season in general for Stafford, who has yet to post a 300-yard passing game, and has just a 6:8 TD:INT ratio. He seems to be taking fewer shots down the field, as Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate have combined for just six receptions of 20+ yards, and while he's been sacked just seven times, the offensive line has underachieved. It might not get better for Stafford next week against Chicago, which has held Stafford to just a 14:12 TD:INT ratio and 80.6 QB Rating in nine career games.
