DET-MIN grades: Stafford excels in another Lions comeback

Detroit Lions 22, Minnesota Vikings 16

These are the highest-graded players and biggest takeaways from the Lions’ win over the Vikings.

Quarterback grade: Matthew Stafford, 79.1

Both at the end of regulation and in overtime Matthew Stafford came up with timely conversions to lead the Lions to another comeback victory, in a 2016 season full of them for Detroit. Stafford was on point to the left side of the field against the Vikings, going eight for 10 for 69 yards and both of his touchdowns on throws outside the left numbers.
