With nothing to play for, Matthew Stafford shouldn’t risk further injury

The Detroit Lions are done. Dead in the water, and not even the comeback magic of Matthew Stafford can save them. Even if he was healthy.

At 3-5-1 the Lions reside in the NFC North cellar. A half a game behind the Chicago Bears who beat them last Sunday in the first of their two annual divisional matchups this season. Overall the Lions are 0-3 against their divisional foes. It’s time to turn out the lights, the parties over.

So what is there left to play for? A high draft pick? Well, losing shouldn’t be a problem for this franchise.
