Matthew Stafford eager to hit career milestone vs. Jaguars: ‘That needs to happen’

Matthew Stafford will face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday for only the third time in his NFL career. The schedule dictates that an NFC opponent will only play an AFC opponent every four seasons. Even still, the Jaguars hold a distinction that no other Detroit Lions opponent can boast: they have never allowed a Matthew Stafford passing touchdown in the history of their franchise. Stafford has thrown at least two touchdowns against all 30 other teams.

Stafford found out about this fact during his Wednesday press conference when a reporter brought it to his attention.
