Prior to his season-ending injury a year ago, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford was arguably playing the best football of his career. But through the first four games of the 2020 season, he's struggled to recapture that form.
Stafford's completion percentage, yards and yards per attempt are closer to his disappointing 2018 campaign, his last with offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter. And while there are a number of factors likely contributing to the regression, current coordinator Darrell Bevell said there's one foundational concern that merits the most focus coming out of the bye.
"I think there are a lot of things that go into that, but I think when you simplify it as easy as you can for the quarterback — I had a small conversation with him about it — I think it usually goes back to your feet," Bevell said.
