Lions QB Matthew Stafford benched after third INT

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford was benched in the third quarter of Sunday's game in favor of Dan Orlovsky . The Lions and Stafford have had a disastrous season. Prior to being benched, he had thrown for 188 yards a touchdown and three interceptions. He has thrown for just six TDs and eight INTs this season. However, head coach Jim Caldwell did confirm that Stafford is still the starter moving forward.

Fantasy Analysis:

Things are getting ugly when you're benched for Dan Orlovsky. The same Dan Orlovsky that ran out of the back of the end zone while helping lead the Lions to a 0-16 season.
