Oakland, Calif. — Justin Rogers grades the Lions' performance in the team's 31-24 loss to the Raiders.
Quarterback
Matthew Stafford wasn't perfect, but he was good enough to win the Lions this game. For the first time in more than two years, he threw for more than 400 yards, to go with three touchdown passes. He was picked once, on a 50-50 ball in the end zone to Kenny Golladay where he has reason to trust his receiver to win the matchup.
On the downside, Stafford put his targets unnecessarily in harms way with a few balls.
