Lions QB Stafford May Not Play vs Packers
Nov 23, 6:31 PM (ET)
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -Matt Stafford and Calvin Johnson played the game Sunday that Detroit Lions fans had been waiting all season to see.
Stafford set an NFL rookie passing record with 422 yards in a 38-37 victory over Cleveland and became the youngest player to throw five touchdown passes in a game. Johnson had seven catches for a career-best 161 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown.
Trouble is, a national TV audience might not get to see either player on Thursday.
Stafford and Johnson were both injured on a chaotic play as time expired, and Lions coach Jim Schwartz didn't sound optimistic that either would be available to face Green Bay on Thanksgiving Day.
