Burden still heavy as Lions suffer breakdown vs. Arizona, 42-17
Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer threw for three touchdowns and Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford was benched after throwing a third interception as Arizona dominated Detroit at Ford Field, 42-17.
Stafford went 20-of-32 for 188 yards with his only touchdown being a 6-yard pass to Theo Riddick in the 1st quarter that gave Detroit their only lead of the game, 7-0. After Stafford was replaced in the 3rd quarter, backup quarterback Dan Orlovsky went on to complete 21-of-38 passes for 191 yards with a touchdown late in the game & an interception.
The Lions (0-5) have until next Sunday to sort things out when they host their division rival Chicago Bears inside Ford Field at 1 pm.
