Lions to place Kerryon Johnson on IR.
Lions 24/7

That move would cap off a busy few weeks for the Lions, who have placed team leaders like Marvin Jones, Ezekiel Ansah, T.J. Lang and Da'Shawn Hand on the reserve list ending their season.

Matthew Stafford was one of the best statistical QBs of Week 15.
It was a surprisingly efficient day for Stafford against a good Bills defense.
The high-flying offenses that seemed to define the first half of the 2018 NFL season seem to have taken a week off. Drew Brees threw for just 5.8 yards per attempt and zero touchdowns, Jared Goff went touchdown-less for the second straight week and even Patrick Mahomes had a fairly pedestrian game with 253 yards and two touchdowns.

As a result, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford had one of the better games of the week, according to a few advanced statistics.

Though Stafford only threw for 208 yards and a touchdown, ESPN?s QBR had Stafford as the second-best quarterback of Week 15, with an 81.5 score.

Obviously, you cannot talk about Stafford?s day without mentioning Kenny Golladay?s impressive day. Golladay saved Stafford from one interception, and made a couple of incredible grabs.

?The duo hooked up seven times on eight attempts for 146 yards and five first downs overall,? ESPN?s Hank Gargiulo wrote. ?Five of Stafford?s largest six plays in terms of expected points added came when Golladay was the target.?

But if you?re like me, you?re a QBR skeptic. It?s unclear what exactly goes into the QBR formula, and it doesn?t always spit out results that make sense.

However, I do like (and enjoy) Football Outsiders? DYAR metric, and by those standards, Stafford was the fifth-best quarterback of the week. It?s worth noting, however, that Stafford?s Week 15 PFF grade was not good enough to place in the top five of the Lions? offensive players.
