From the episode

He's just a little bit off right now. He's not quite playing like he did last year during the MVP season. For example, one small thing, six interceptions already. He only had eight last year.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Stafford is struggling with accuracy and downfield efficiency this season.

Matthew Stafford is underperforming compared to his previous MVP-caliber season, evidenced by six interceptions in four games and a 36% off-target rate on downfield throws (10+ yards). He has struggled specifically against playoff-caliber teams, completing under 60% of his passes in those matchups.
