Stafford throws 5 TDs, X-rays negative
Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford tied a franchise record by throwing five touchdowns in a come-from-behind 38-37 victory over the Cleveland Browns.
At 21 years old, Stafford, the 2009 top overall draft pick, also became the youngest quarterback in NFL history to accomplish the feat.
It looked like Stafford's shoulder might have popped out on the second-to-last play, but he didn't miss any snaps as the Browns called time out. And then he threw the game-winner to fellow first-round rookie Brandon Pettigrew with time running out.
“There’s a lot more that needs to be done,” Schwartz said. “But the first thing you wanted to eliminate was a broken collarbone or one of those things.”
The Lions play the Packers on Thanksgiving and it would seem unlikely that Stafford would play. But then again, he didn't miss a snap after suffering the injury.
