STATS PACK: Lions need more consistency from run game.

Here?s a look at some other key stats ? good and bad ? after 12 weeks of football:
Stafford has a 128.3 passer rating when throwing the ball at least 21 yards in the air. He has six touchdowns and no interceptions on those passes this season.

With 282 passing yards on Thanksgiving, Stafford surpassed Peyton Manning (33,189) for the most career passing yards before the age of 30, per the Elias Sports Bureau. In 120 career games, Stafford has racked up 33,345 yards.

The Lions average 4.09 yards gained on 1st down, the lowest total in the NFL. The league average is 5.3 yards.

Detroit pass catchers are dropping catchable passes just 4.2 percent of the time, which is eighth best in the NFL.

Over the past two years, kicker Matt Prater has made a league-best 14 50-plus-yard field goals.

Detroit is converting on 3rd & 1 and 4th & 1 just 30.8 percent of the time. The league average is 67.3 percent.

When the Lions get an opponent in a 3rd and 10 or more situation, they?ve been very good this season. On average, teams convert in those situations 19 percent of the time. Against the Lions, they convert just 9.3 percent of the time. That?s the second best percentage in the league.

The Lions have the sixth most plays of 20-plus yards (48) in the NFL this season.

Wide receiver Kenny Golladay recorded his fourth reception of 40-plus yards on Thanksgiving, which leads all rookies in the NFL.
