Matthew Stafford has always had a gunslinger mentality as a quarterback. He’s never afraid to push the ball down the field, which at times can lead to costly turnovers.
It’s part of the reason he led the NFL with 17 interceptions last season and he’s already thrown five in two games this year. He tossed two picks against the Falcons on Sunday, the second of which was costly and helped Atlanta mount a furious comeback in the second half.
Stafford broke down what happened on each of those throws, calling the first one “a greedy play by me.”
