Stafford completed 22-of-36 passes for 217 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's loss to Kansas City.
A change at offensive coordinator didn't do much to help Stafford, as he failed to crack triple digits in passing yards until late in the third quarter. Despite his career success as a deep-ball thrower, Stafford completed just two such passes, both during the Lions' lone touchdown drive, and has averaged just 2.4 such tosses in Detroit's seven losses. Part of that may be time in the pocket as, despite a change at offensive line coach, Detroit surrendered six sacks on Sunday after giving up seven in Week 7. Detroit finding a way for Stafford to get the ball down field following its Week 9 bye will be vital in determining its offensive players' fantasy value for the season's home stretch.
