Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been excellent for the team this year. He currently ranks fifth in the NFL in passer rating, fourth in QBR, and fourth in PFF grade.

The Detroit Lions rebounded nicely in Week 3, taking down the Atlanta Falcons, 20-6, behind a stellar defensive performance that held their offense to 183 total yards. “That was a big win,” coach Dan Campbell said in his post-game press conference. “I was proud of our guys. I was really proud of the staff. It’s…
The last time the Detroit Lions held a team without a touchdown was five years ago during Matt Patricia’s inaugural season as head coach, so it wouldn’t be surprising if you, like me, couldn’t remember the last time a Lions defense was this dominant.

The Rams making Jared Goff the NFL’s second-highest-paid player in September 2019 ended up benefiting the Lions, who capitalized on the former No. 1 overall pick’s depressed value barely 16 months later. Agreeing to take on Goff’s $33.5M-per-year contract led to the Lions picking up an extra first-round pick in the January 2021 Matthew Stafford trade. Detroit
When Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker got rolled up on, early in the second quarter of the team’s season opener in Kansas City, he knew it was a serious injury.
