Lions QB Matthew Stafford Has More Options On Third Down
The Lions struggled to convert third downs last season and this year it has become an area of emphasis for the offense.
The Lions converted 35.9% of their third-down attempts last season, when they went 0-for-10 in a game at Green Bay, and ranked 24th out of 32 teams in that category. Third-down conversions are important because they keep drives alive and keep the defense off the field.
