ALLEN PARK, Mich. - Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew
Stafford has blamed the wind for throwing a season-high four
interceptions at Chicago.
That won't be an excuse for another month.
The Lions will host Carolina on Sunday indoors at Ford Field and
their next game outdoors is Dec. 18 at Oakland.
Detroit needs Stafford to bounce back against the Panthers for a
seventh win to keep its favorable position in the playoff picture.
When Stafford has had a 100-plus QB rating this season, the
Lions are 5-0, and they're 1-3 when he doesn't.
Stafford has been playing with a fractured right index finger
since the first half of Detroit's win Oct. 30 against Denver. He
wore gloves against the Bears and in Wednesday's practice to help
him get a better grip on the ball.
