Stafford, with another Thanksgiving start under his belt, will join Troy Aikman as the only quarterbacks with 10 career starts on Thanksgiving, according to NFL Network's Rich Eisen. On Thanksgiving Day, Matthew Stafford joins @TroyAikman as the only quarterbacks with ten career starts. He's made three straight starts this season, after missing two games due to a knee injury. "I think he's done a good job of taking care of the football," Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. "I think he's been efficient with the ball, which you want from your quarterback." Stafford has also seen his share of criticism this year, including from former teammate Larry Fitzgerald who called him out last week. “He’s got a lot of confidence in himself, that’'true, but at the same time he doesn’t play like it,” Caldwell said. "There are times when he makes some poor decisions with the football and turns it over, which is not something we want from our quarterback. But overall I think he’s done a good job of taking care of the football. This year's Thanksgiving game will be the first meeting between Detroit and Arizona since 2014 when the Cardinals beat the Lions 38-35 at University of Phoenix Stadium. The two teams have now met twice this season with each team winning one game.
