Matthew Stafford become quickest to 45,000 yards with TD pass to Marvin Jones Jr.

There’s the possibility that we could be seeing the last of both Matthew Stafford and Marvin Jones Jr. as members of the Detroit Lions this afternoon. Should that ultimately come to pass, they’re both giving us one great memory to eventually look back on.

Stafford connected with Jones Jr. for the second time on the afternoon, grabbing the lead right back from the Vikings:

In doing so, Stafford etched himself into the NFL history books. With his 26-yard toss to Jones Jr., Stafford became the quickest QB in NFL history to surpass the 45,000 yard mark:

If this is the last game we’re seeing Stafford with the Lions, he’s making it a memorable one.
