Stafford out with broken bones in back

We knew Lions QB MATTHEW STAFFORD was dealing with serious back pain and had some chance of missing today's game at Chicago, but the story keeps getting worse. It turns out Stafford has broken bones in his back and has been managing the pain for quite some time -- perhaps back to last season. His streak of 136 consecutive regular season starts will end today, and while he's officially considered week-to-week, it will not come as much of a surprise if he misses multiple games now. JEFF DRISKEL takes over as the starter in the meantime.
