The Detroit Lions sat Reggie Bush late in their loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers due to the rain and sloppy field and not because of his fumble.

“Reggie in horse racing wouldn’t be called a mudder. He’s an explosively quick guy. He’s better on a fast track,” Jim Schwartz said.

Bush had 31 yards on 12 carries.

Matthew Stafford set the Detroit Lions' record for all-time career passing yards.

Stafford found Calvin Johnson on a 79-yard touchdown score to move past Bobby Layne, who had 15,710 yards from 1950 to 1958.

Stafford also became the fourth-fastest player to throw 100 touchdowns.

"It's obviously, any time you break a record, it's a humbling experience," Stafford said recently. "It's not something I'm setting out to do every time I go out to a game or whatever it is.

"It's not like I'm going out there trying to break records. I'm trying to win a game. If I do so in the process, obviously I have a lot of respect for the history of this game and this franchise, too, so it's something that when and if it happens, I'm sure I'll reflect on it after the fact."

Calvin Johnson broke the NFL's single-season receiving yards record last season with 1,964.

Johnson has 904 yards through eight games this season as he has missed one game due to injury.

Johnson has 2.8 yards per route run this season competed to 2.5 last season.

Reggie Bush grew up emulating Barry Sanders.

“Barry Sanders, he did it all,” Bush said. “I think just about every kid who grew up watching him. He’s just a joy to watch. I love watching him. I try to pattern my game after him, try to run like him. He did it all.”

Bush has 133 rushing attempts for 623 yards and two touchdowns, along with 34 receptions for 343 yards and another two touchdowns.

Bush is averaging 4.7 yards per carry.

Matthew Stafford had an injury-prone label early in his career when he missed 19 of his first 32 games with the Detroit Lions.

But Stafford has now made 40 consecutive starts at quarterback.

Stafford has remained in the lineup despite finger, hamstring and knee injuries in recent seasons.

"That speaks volumes to me," center Dominic Raiola said. "I have a lot of respect for guys who are able to stay on the field that much, because it's not easy to stay on the field. It means you're doing the right things, you're in shape, you're getting treatment. And on top of all that, you're tough as hell."
