ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- He knocked on the podium Wednesday afternoon -- a sign he hopes his good play and good luck continue. Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford had just been reminded of his streak of 137 passes without an interception and he didn't want to jinx it.
Stafford was intercepted on his first pass of the season -- returned for a touchdown by Arizona. Since then, he's been mostly accurate and completely turnover-free. There were times Sunday against Minnesota -- at least twice -- when the streak should have been halted, but the Vikings couldn't come down with the turnover.
