Allen Park — Moments into his weekly Wednesday media session, it was clear something wasn't right with Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford. As he responded to the first question, his response came in a raspy voice, barely above a whisper.

Was this the result of partying too hard at his annual Halloween party the night before?

Hardly. It's just a nasty cold, which is currently running rampant through the Stafford household. The good news is he's confident it will clear up before this weekend's game against the Oakland Raiders.
