Stafford emerged from the game with a 125.3 passer rating, but statistics tell only part of the story.

Stafford improvised brilliantly on two early touchdown passes to Johnson, and Detroit beat the Giants in Jim Caldwell's first game as Lions coach.

Acknowledging he "didn't get it right" with a two-game suspension for Ravens running back Ray Rice, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced tougher penalties for players accused of domestic violence, including six weeks for a first offense and at least a year for a second.
"... After coming here, you see the players aren't as bad as they're portrayed to be on TV, and the city isn't like that, at least the areas that I've been in. You kind of live just like a normal city. I think every city has their bad areas. The economy may be a little different here, but for the most part, it's cool."
Caldwell said last week the Lions would not name season-long captains and instead appoint the honors on a game-by-game basis.
