Not Available Lead

Last Sunday, Matthew Stafford was able to play against the Denver Broncos, even though the injury report listed him as having arm, ribs and chest issues. So, we gotta give him a pass for not wanting to throw himself into harm's way for the sake of a couple of yards from a cutback across the field by Ameer Abdullah. Still, Stafford's pump fake on the assist is pretty hilarious.
