What a freaking game. Not only does Stafford win, but he leads a game-winning drive with seconds to go. Those of us who watched him in Detroit are not surprised. That’s the QB we’ve seen for 12 years.

Do not get the “Stafford bailed on Detroit” narrative that some of y’all have (a minority, but still). It’s a business & he’s a real person with a career. How the Lions’ season went is evidence enough that the expectation for him to have stayed is unfair + unrealistic.
