"Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford didn't take the bait Friday when ESPN "SportsCenter" anchor Chris McKendry asked him for a 2012 season prediction.

"One and done in the playoffs or are you going farther?" asked McKendry, who appeared to be fishing for a bold prediction.

"Hopefully, we're going farther," Stafford said, grinning. "It's no fun to go one and done, that's for sure."

The Lions finished the 2011 regular season with a 10-6 record before a playoff loss to the Saints in New Orleans.

Stafford's in-studio ESPN appearance occurred less than a week after he visited Indianapolis for the Super Bowl and received the Associated Press's NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award.

Stafford expressed hope for another healthy season and even more offensive production with receiver Calvin Johnson.

"It's awesome, he's a great weapon to have," Stafford said of playing with Johnson. "He's a great teammate, a great worker. That goes unnoticed, just how great of a teammate he is.

"We're lucky to have him, I'm lucky to have him, and hopefully we'll have him for a long time.""
