The worst two teams of the league finished Sunday’s game with the Detroit Lions’ narrow 38-37 win over the Cleveland Browns. And now the previously 1-8 Lions are 2-8 while 1-8 Browns fell to 1-9 and remains the lowest in team ranks.
The Browns performed so badly that they allowed Lions starting quarterback Matthew Stafford to throw five touchdown passes in one game and become the first rookie to do so since Ray Buivid did it in 1937 for the Chicago Bears, even if the quarterback in Lions jersey was injured on the shoulder.
Stafford was hit by Browns safety Hank Poteat, who passed interference in the end zone when Stafford heaved a desperation attempt to throw. The quarterback was replaced by Daunte Culpepper for a while and returned to field as the Browns stopped the game with their timeout to get the team ready for the play.
According to Lions Coach Jim Schwartz, X-rays showed Stafford’s collarbone wasn’t broken and more tests are still needed to determine the quarterback’s playing status for next games.
