Lions Lowdown: Wojo, Niyo, Rogers on stretch drive

Lions Lowdown panelists Justin Rogers, Bob Wojnowski and John Niyo have their collective finger on the pulse of the 9-4 Lions, which means the trio spends a great deal of time on analyzing the wounded digit of the team's MVP-worthy quarterback, Matthew Stafford.

Stafford dislocated the middle finger on his right hand in last weekend's win against the Bears and likely will wear a glove to protect the injury against the Giants this Sunday. The question is: How will the injury affect his throwing ability?

The panel also debates who — besides Stafford, the architect of eight fourth-quarter comebacks this season — has been the most valuable contributors on the Lions. They also predict where the Lions will finish in an increasingly tight NFC playoff race.
