If they get close they can throw the QB off and cause a bad throw. You don't have to sack them every time. Most incompletes are due to almost hitting home but not quite.
Of course getting pressures will lead to more incomplete..the problem, the Lions problem - they get pressure, QB throws incomplete next play they throw 1st down pass because the previous pressure didn't cause a turnover. One time, no bigger but when it keeps happening it's a problem.

Opposing QBs Under Pressure
Week 1-4
30/59 1 TD and 4 ints. 3-1 record
Weeks 5-8
11/40 0 TD and 2 ints 2-2 record
Week 10-13
25/49 3 TDs and 1 int. Big Ben did well (6/10 2 TDs) and Glennon threw his short TD. 1-3 record
Again over 50%. For most at under 50% on pressures, we sure give it up.
I didn't realize the season was only 8 games long and btw, week 1-4 at over 50%, not good.
Quin at free safety, Ihedigbo limits them and Slay development can easily fix the big plays allowed. Also less predictability with these blitzes will help a ton.
Detroit blitzing more makes us less predictable. That's the key. It's not a certain high number of blitzes, we have the front four to get pressure but the blitz changes up the looks and the offenses must adjust.
You mean the one 80 yarder he got out maneuvered and then did the old "I'm injured bit". The Rodney Peete thing..
When the pressure was the strongest, the last half of the season, Stafford imploded. He just needed to get this team one damn win and he couldn't.
