Despite his group’s varying levels of success through time, Matthew Stafford hasn’t allowed anything to keep him off the field. Not even a broken back.
On the most recent edition of his podcast with WJR sponsor Ken Brown, Detroit Lions reporter Mike O’Hara shown some information about the vague harm the quarterback sustained toward the conclusion of the 2018 campaign.
“He is durable but does play with injuries. As it turns out, he’d broken bones in his back,” O’Hara told Brown. After being asked by Brown if he was likely to say that, O’Hara responded,”It’s been reported”
O’Hara’s report has been supported by NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, who provided more remark on the situation.Up for this point, the only information the public had to go from regarding Stafford’s disease was that he suffered the injury after being handled 11 times against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13. Before this, he suffered a chest injury in Week 1 against the New York Jets and a pinky accident against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8.
Stafford managed to stay in the lineup for the last four games, finishing 75 of his 116 pass efforts for 691 yards and three touchdowns, to extend his consecutive start streak to 128 in a row, the sixth-longest series in NFL history.
Overall, 2018 was a down year for the 10-year veteran. Besides the Lions (6-10) missing the playoffs for the first time during his stint, he ended with a career-low 3,777 total passing yards, 21 TDs — the second-fewest of his career — and ranked 25th in passer rating (89.9).
