The showdown between two of the NFL's hottest teams could be decided by a single digit. In this case, that digit happens to be the middle finger on Matthew Stafford's throwing hand.
Stafford reportedly suffered torn ligaments and a dislocation in the first quarter of the Detroit Lions' 20-17 win over Chicago on Sunday. He threw two interceptions, including a pick six, after having the finger taped and putting on glove on his hand. Stafford still led his club to its eighth fourth-quarter comeback victory, the most by any team since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970.
