This is the hardest assignment I’ve ever had, but I think we did it.
Here are five things to watch Sunday in the home finale against Minnesota (1 p.m., FOX, WJR 760):
1. Does Stafford play?
With nothing to play for and the organization standing to actually benefit from a loss with a better draft pick, it’ll be interesting to see what coach Matt Patricia does.
Will they run the hobbled Matthew Stafford our there again, needlessly risking injury for the 30-year-old against a Minnesota defense that has terrorized him?
Patricia is noted for his smarts.
