    Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford became the franchise's all-time leader in passing yards Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

    Stafford's 79-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Johnson with 10:27 left in the second quarter placed him ahead of Hall of Famer Bobby Layne.

    SteveRobWhatever's Take: Stafford, who is only in his fifth season, set the record with 15,782 yards on the completion. Stafford is also the fourth-fastest quarterback to reach 100 career touchdown passes in 55 games, behind only Dan Marino (44), Kurt Warner (50) and Johnny Unitas (53).
