Quarterback
Matthew Staford (TRUST): We talked about Stafford being due for some touchdown regression last week and he immediately cashed in for four touchdown passes. It was also the fifth time that Stafford averaged 9.0 or more yards per pass attempt in a game this season.
This week he gets a Detroit defense that is allowing the most points per pass attempt in the league (0.64) while also ranking last in yards allowed per pass attempt (9.8 Y/A) and yards allowed per completion (14.5 yards).
