Matthew Stafford says he feels like he let Detroit Lions down

Former Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford admitted he feels he let down the franchise that drafted him back in 2009.

“Definitely. I sit there and go, ‘Man, I wish I could’ve gotten it done,’” Stafford told NBC Sports’ Peter King at Los Angeles Rams camp this week. “I mean, it would’ve been amazing to have a Super Bowl parade down Woodward Avenue in Detroit. Didn’t happen. Tough pill to swallow as a competitor and somebody who touches the ball on every single offensive play. You definitely look back and wish you’d done a few things different here or there in some games, that maybe change the outcomes of seasons.
