Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia is all in on Matthew Stafford. He’s all in on his struggling quarterback.

Patricia didn't come close to criticizing Stafford four days after the Lions' 23-16 loss to the Chicago Bears. Stafford threw one of the worst interceptions you’ll see a big-time quarterback commit with the game on the line.

I asked Patricia on Monday about Stafford’s statistics being down, whether he’s happy with Stafford’s play and why he hasn’t been able to get more out of him.
