Florida weather wrecks havoc on Detroit Lions as Matthew Stafford finally gets TD vs. Jaguars

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Matthew Stafford finally got his first career touchdown pass against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and it did not come easy.

Stafford threw his lone touchdown of the Detroit Lions' 34-16 win Sunday over the Jaguars midway through the third quarter, on his third straight pass attempt from goal-to-go at the 1.

"It was entirely too hard to score down there on a couple of those," Stafford said. "It was a tough series to get it in there, but it was nice to score."

Leading 17-6 early in the second half, Stafford threw a 48-yard bomb to Kenny Golladay that gave the Lions first-and-goal from the 6.
