Jared Goff started Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings looking like a whole new player. It almost looked like he bought a brand-new arm on Black Friday. Zip! Zing! Fling! Throw after throw, completion after completion, the Detroit Lions quarterback tossed tight spirals, passed deep and into tight windows, for 25 yards, 24, 23, a touchdown. Then
