Seconds as in how many seconds Stafford had from snap of the ball until he was "pressured" to stop looking downfield and had to start moving, so it's not when he actually got wrapped up or sacked. For reference, the average NFL pass from snap to release is about 2.5 seconds and on the 10 sacks Stafford had an average of 2.89 seconds to get rid of the ball. Again that's from snap until he stopped looking downfield, so I gave him every benefit possible. To put that into perspective, in case you're still struggling to grasp just how long that is in football terms, 2.89 seconds is about Teddy's career average from snap to release. You can almost time it with a sundial.
I give the D-line credit for maybe 4 of those sacks. The other 6 are either due to good coverage downfield or Stafford being a scared little nancy boy or because of a busted play. At least 4 of the sacks Stafford had more than ample time to get rid of the ball even by Teddy standards.
Evidence, it's been refuting homer propaganda since 1961. Stafford is the true defensive player of the week.
