He\u2019ll always take his team winning, even if his own numbers don\u2019t look good.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously I could be better, but playoff football is about winning the football game,\u201d Stafford said. \u201cI played great, threw for a bunch of yards last year in the snow and we lost, so that shit sucks. I\u2019m happy to have played a little bit worse today and going home with a win. So we\u2019ll take that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last year in Philadelphia, Stafford completed 26 of 44 passes for 324 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions, in a 28-22 loss. Yesterday in Chicago, Stafford completed 20 of 42 passes for 258 yards, with no touchdowns and no interceptions, in a 20-17 win.
