Detroit needed a come-from-behind win against he Rams in Week 1 and will look to exploit the 49ers at the one wavering aspect of their entire package: the secondary.
Just like the Packers, the Lions will let Stafford throw the ball, just as he did when he threw 48 times in Week 1. Stafford found 10 different receivers on Sunday, with five of them tallying over four receptions. In comparison, Aaron Rodgers accomplished the same feat last week.

A week after taking down the Packers, the San Francisco 49ers welcome the Detroit Lions to the Bay Area.
The Lions also won their opener, over St. Louis, but it was a struggle for Matt Stafford and the Lions. Stafford threw three interceptions last week compared to zero by Alex Smith, though it is, of course, foolish to form judgements after one week of football.
