The Detroit Lions win loss record for last season (6-10) was a disappointment, and that’s putting my best spin on it. Simply put: a lot of things went wrong.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford was beginning his mega contract extension (five years, $135 million), but had his worst season as a pro (at least when playing all 16 games). Although, he did suffer (and played through) a back injury that had to hinder his performance.
So, hopefully, 2019 will be relatively pain free for Stafford. Although, if he suffers another injury, 50% of Matthew is loads better than a healthy dose of presumed backup quarterback Tom Savage.
