DETROIT -- Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has moved past another Hall of Famer on the all-time yardage list.

Stafford entered Sunday 39 yards behind New York Jets star Joe Namath, who is No. 58 on the all-time list with 27,663 yards during his 13-year career with the Jets and Los Angeles Rams from 1965 to 1977. With an 8-yard swing pass to Justin Forsett in the second quarter, Stafford moved past Namath.

Stafford finished the game with 266 yards passing and is now at 27,890 yards for his career. That's the most of any quarterback in NFL history in his first 100 games.

The 28-year-old could move up some more places next Sunday as well. Craig Morton is at No. 57 with 27,908 yards, followed by Hall of Famers Ken Stabler (27,938) and Terry Bradshaw (27,989).

Stafford already holds the NFL marks for most completions and 350-yard games in his first 100 games.
