Lions win again, but Stafford’s finger a concern
DETROIT — Matthew Stafford ran for the winning touchdown in another close victory.
The big concern now is whether he’ll be able to throw effectively as the Detroit Lions chase a division title.
Stafford’s 7-yard scoring run with 3:17 remaining lifted the Lions to a 20-17 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday, but the Detroit quarterback was bothered by a finger issue on his throwing hand. The middle finger on his right hand was taped up and covered by a white glove, and Stafford passed for only 223 yards with two interceptions.
