The Detroit Lions should bench quarterback Matthew Stafford for Sunday’s season finale.
The reasons for this are obvious. The Lions have nothing to play for now that they have been eliminated from playoff contention.
Sunday’s game at Ford Field against the Green Bay Packers is a glorified exhibition. Stafford could suffer a serious injury in a meaningless game.
