Stafford: Finger, glove not to blame for struggles

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has thrown four interceptions in three games since injuring the middle finger on his right throwing hand, necessitating the use of a glove. He isn't blaming the finger for his struggles, however.

Stafford said the finger has been fine as he's thrown the ball.

"I don't think so," Stafford said when asked if the finger was the problem. "You know, you look back at them and maybe the one in Chicago was a poor throw, behind him. For the most part, it's been more so decision or close here or there.
