It’s crazy to see how the Detroit Lions receiving core has changed all year. Once viewed as a top unit in the league, the departure of Golden Tate and the lack of presence at tight end proves their offense has lost a step, as seen by quarterback Matthew Stafford‘s dip in passing numbers this past season.
There are obviously more than one reason why Stafford showed a bit a regression this past season, with age and the pitiful playcalling of former offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter both being partially to blame.
