In the words of the great WWE announcer Jim Ross, Matthew Stafford is one tough s.o.b.
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford took an absolutely relentless beating on Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis, Minnesota that would eventually lead to the sixth year pro receiving x-rays following the game.
For the entirety of the divisional matchup, the blocking was putrid. Stafford had pressure in his face for a majority of the afternoon and took far too many big hits along the way. During the game, he would drop back to pass 54 times, and with the long developing routes of offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, would rarely have ample time to work with.
